What better way to see the beautiful Marlborough wine region than from a bike. Imagine leisurely cycling along quiet rural roads through superb countryside on a stunning Marlborough day. Whether you take half a day or a whole day, you can explore many of the 40 wineries by bike all within a 10km radius of Blenheim. Marlborough is New Zealand’s most important and largest wine area and is world famous for its Sauvignon Blanc.
With flat sealed roads and short distances between the wineries our self guided wine tours can be enjoyed by young and old alike, whether a couple, a group or a family, come rain or shine (ponchos and sunscreen available).

Here are some inside local tips on great places to eat and drink in Christchurch...
1. Looking for the best coffee in Christchurch?... C1 Espresso on the High Street/Popular Lane...
2. Freshly made organic crumpets at the Crumpet Club on Durham Street is a great brunch treat. They have lots of sweet and savory options for toppings.
3. Christchurch has several pubs and bars. Two that shouldn't be missed are the Twisted Hop in Poplar Lane - they brew their own beer, and the Dux de Lux who brew organic beer including Ginger Tom, which is a great beer for the ladies.
4. 1950's cupcakes... Yum! The Cupcake Parlour on Victoria Street... they look too good to eat!
The Christchurch Gourmet Bike Tour covers some of these eateries and more. There is also a Gourmet Walking Tour option for those that do not want hat hair!) Visit www.chchbiketours.co.nz for more information.
