Discover stunning vineyards, beaches and countryside along the back roads of rural Hawke's Bay on a 5 day fully supported Hawke's Bay Art Deco and Vineyard Loop cycle tour. You'll enjoy delightful riding through vineyards and orchards and alongside rivers and stunning coastline on limesand trails and back country rural roads. There'll also be the opportunity to tackle Te Mata Peak, a visual feast and an integral part of Hawke’s Bay’s history.
In between the rides, you'll visit a boutique vineyard, enjoy a guided walk around the Art Deco town of Napier and explore Havelock North, one of New Zealand's most picturesque small towns.
You’ll enjoy warm hospitality along the way, not least at Wallingford, an elegant homestead retreat delivering luxury accommodation and gourmet dining on the final night.
The Hawke's Bay Art Deco and Vineyards tour is graded moderate. The rides are not technical but you do need to be capable of cycling distances between 50-70km per day, for 5+ days. On-road sections may have low to moderate traffic levels, mostly on back-roads and riders need to be confident riding with some traffic. E-bikes are suitable if ridden appropriately and manage battery life (i.e. not on turbo the whole time, and in the correct chain ring for climbing hills). With the trip being fully supported, you can also choose to ride shorter sections and hop in the van at any time.
