About This Tour
A very warm welcome from Lorelle, Greg & their team. “This is self-guided biking at its best & probably the most fun you'll have on a bike!” We are located at heart of Renwick, surrounded by bike paths & quiet roads plus 14 Cellar Doors who are as little as 5-10 minutes biking apart. We offer 2 bike hire time slots - 10am-4pm or 11am-5pm & includes a free shuttle service if you are staying within 15km of our base in Renwick (check Google) . Free parking if you drive yourselves to our base. Our bikes are “all about cruising” & come with comfy seats, a basket, dedicated wine panniers for 4 wine bottles & Hi-Vis Helmet. This is bike hire with extras… friendly up-to-date advice, tools to navigate your day, a detailed cellar door map, a video on the cellar doors to help you decide who you would like to visit, a full emergency backup service if you need help, free collection of wines. A day made for relaxing in beanbags, nibbling on cheese platters, and tasting beautiful wines.

Special Instructions
Your day is your own where you have the freedom to pick and choose who you want to visit and there are upwards of 14+ beautiful cellar doors who are happy for you to just turn up at any time for a tasting without needing a booking. The exceptions to this rule, however, are:- Cloudy Bay (a 40 minute bike ride from our base), Hunters (a 40 minute bike ride from our base), Hans Herzog (a 20 minute bike ride from our base), Framingham Wines (a 10 minute bike ride from our base) If any of these 4 places are on your bucket list, check out their websites for booking details. With Cloudy Bay and Hunters being 40 minutes away, we would recommend you make a booking between 12 Noon-1pm (get the big bike ride out of the way at the start of the day, then work your way back so you are close to home at the end of the day :-) ) There are some cellar doors that we feel are also too far away to get to on a bike, or that the roads to reach them are just not safe - Clos Henri, Saint Clair, Wither Hills, Lawsons Dry Hills - these are best visited by car. ~Restaurant / Food Truck Ideas~ Boomtown Beer Garden Food Truck - 5 minutes biking from our base (Open Wednesday-Sunday ONLY.) Vines Village Café - 20 minutes biking from our base (Open 7 days). The Fancy Cow - 25 minutes biking from our base (Open 6 days, closed on Tuesdays) Allan Scott - 40 minutes biking from our base – bookings essential - (Open 7 days) Most of the cellar doors also offer cheese or mixed platters, too, and you don’t need to book in advance to have these – just order one when you get to the cellar door .
