A rippling breeze off Hawke’s Bay pushes salt into your face as the group rolls away from Hygge Café toward the Cape coast. The 20km route threads low coastal dunes, estuarine flats and a quieter shoulder of the Tukituki River, with Te Mata Peak rising inland like a watchful ridge. Vine rows slope into sunlight and the sea keeps time in the background.

A rippling breeze off Hawke’s Bay pushes salt into your face as the group rolls away from Hygge Café toward the Cape coast. The 20km route threads low coastal dunes, estuarine flats and a quieter shoulder of the Tukituki River, with Te Mata Peak rising inland like a watchful ridge. Vine rows slope into sunlight and the sea keeps time in the background.
This stretch of Napier country combines recent settler viticulture with older geological stories: marine terraces deposited by tectonic uplift, young volcanic soils and river alluvium that help wineries produce concentrated reds and crisp whites. The local culture ties farming, food and wine tightly to the landscape — cellar doors are social hubs where grape harvest rhythms still dictate the calendar.
On the ride you’ll visit selected cellar doors for tastings and a leisurely lunch; the group is supported by mechanical backup and a shuttle that ferries riders to the start and back to Napier by late afternoon. E-bikes are available for a gentler pedal, making the tour accessible for cyclists of varying ability.
Practical pointers: plan for variable coastal wind, carry a refillable water bottle, and time tastings so you’re comfortable pedalling after lunch. Wear layered clothing and shoes that handle a short gravel shoulder. The trip is suitable for casual cyclists and wine lovers who want a relaxed day outside — expect flat to rolling terrain, frequent stops, and the occasional gust daring you to keep pace.
Yes—e‑bikes are offered alongside regular bikes to make the 20km route easier for varied fitness levels.
Tastings at selected cellar doors are included as part of the tour itinerary; some premium pours or full meals may be extra.
A shuttle picks up near Napier (meeting instructions provided at booking), drops riders at the start, and returns from Black Barn winery around 4pm.
