Our Tour
Explore the wineries of the Bridge Pa Triangle Wine District
On Yer Bike WInery Tour runs self-guided winery tours through the Bridge Pa Triangle Wine District. Starting from our base at Roy's Hill — just 15 minutes from Hastings — you will be able to visit 3–4 of the six wineries on the route. The Bridge Pa Triangle is a 2,000-hectare sub-region famous for its award-winning Syrah, Merlot, and Chardonnay, and renowned for its boutique, family-owned cellar doors. It is the longer of our two routes at 24–26km, taking in a wider loop through the district. If you'd prefer a shorter ride, our Gimblett Gravels route covers 14–16km. Both routes are on completely flat terrain, making them among the most accessible winery cycling routes in New Zealand.
Choose from e-bikes, regular bikes, and tandems. We also have kids' bikes and trailers if you're bringing children along.
