E-Bike & Wine

OVERVIEW

Ride an electric bike along the inspiring Hawke’s Bay Trails and through the suburb of Taradale and admire the gorgeous views throughout the journey. Traveling by e-bike couldn’t be easier because its battery-powered, whisper-quiet motor makes pedaling a breeze, allowing you to go farther with less effort. You will experience that firsthand by zipping through the urban green spaces on the flat easy-to-negotiate bike path. The route is about 11 miles long, all of it wonderfully scenic. During stops, the guide will point out and describe highlights such as Napier’s vast collection of Art Deco buildings, the photogenic Ahuriri Coast and a protected wildlife refuge that attracts a remarkable variety of wading birds in the shallows of its estuary. The cycling portion of the tour will end at the cellar door of one of the region’s premier wineries, where you will enjoy a tasting thoughtfully paired with a platter of seasonal delicacies.
