About
On Yer Bike Winery Tours on State Highway 50 near Roys Hill is Hawke's Bay's most distinctive cellar door experience—combining world-class local wines with active exploration of the region's famous vineyard landscape. Unlike traditional sit-down tastings, this operation lets you pedal between boutique producers, stopping to sample exceptional Syrah, Chardonnay, and Merlot while soaking in the terroir firsthand. It's become a local favourite because it pairs Hawke's Bay's reputation for premium wine with genuine outdoor adventure, giving visitors a more immersive alternative to standard winery visits.
Expect a guided, social experience that works beautifully for couples after a fun date day, groups of friends wanting something beyond the usual tasting room circuit, and even fit families. Most tours run 3–4 hours depending on your pace and how many cellar doors you visit. The vibe is relaxed and knowledgeable—guides know the local wine story deeply and tailor stops to your interests. Bike fitness is moderate; the terrain is gentle to rolling. Bring water, sunscreen, and a willingness to chat with other cyclists; these tours naturally build camaraderie. At 4.9/5 stars from over 100 reviews, visitors consistently praise the quality of wine, personal touch, and the sheer fun factor.
Fit this into your Hawke's Bay itinerary as a morning or afternoon half-day activity, ideally paired with lunch at a local vineyard or café back in Hastings or Havelock North. Best visited during harvest season (late February–March) or spring (September–November) when the vines are most spectacular and the weather is reliable. It complements other regional experiences like the Art Deco architecture of Napier or visits to Waimarama Beach perfectly, giving you variety beyond pure wine tourism.
