A fabulous winery ride along the stunning coast and through wetlands towards Te Kauwae-a-Māui – Cape Kidnappers.
Leaving from our shop, you will cycle along the beautiful coast. Stop at magical Atea A Rangi Star Compass and then continue through the coastal wetlands, before arriving to the renowned coastal wineries.
Reward yourself with wine tasting and lunch at one of the three cellar doors. Enjoy the views of Cape Kidnappers and perhaps take a stroll along the beach before our shuttle arrives to return you to Napier.
If you wish to have lunch at one of the wineries, we recommend making a booking (essential on weekends) as they are very popular. Please get in touch with us if you would like help planning times.
