ABOUT US
Hawke's Bay's most experienced wine tour operator - by bike
About On Yer Bike Winery Tours
On Yer Bike Winery Tours is a locally-owned bike hire and e-bike rental business based at 2543 State Highway 50, Roy's Hill. Right in the heart of Hawke's Bay's two great wine districts - the Bridge Pa Triangle and the Gimblett Gravels. We've been the official bike hire partner for both the Bridge Pa Triangle Wine District and Gimblett Gravels Winegrowing District since 2000, making us the most experienced winery cycling operator in the region.
We're rated 4.8 stars on Google across 180+ reviews, and consistently ranked as one of the best Hawke's Bay tours for couples, families, hens parties, and corporate groups.
Our bikes With over 40 bikes in our fleet — e-bikes, hybrid bikes, tandems, kids' bikes, and adult/child tandems — we can cater for any group size, age, or occasion. Every bike comes with a front basket, and e-bikes are available if you'd rather arrive at the next cellar door grinning than gasping.
Our rides We offer two classic winery routes through the Bridge Pa Triangle and Gimblett Gravels, plus two game-based experiences: a winery treasure hunt and a murder mystery winery ride. We're the only operator in Hawke's Bay offering interactive, game-based winery rides by bike.
Our service We brief every group on the route, fit all riders with helmets, provide a detailed map, and offer on-call roadside assistance. Buy wine at any cellar door before 3pm and we'll collect it — it'll be waiting for you at base when you return.
WHAT TO EXPECT
What is a self-guided wine country ride?
A self-guided wine country bike ride is exactly what it sounds like — you explore Hawke's Bay wine country by bike, by yourself, stopping at cellar doors to taste, eat, and soak it all in. No bus, no guide, no groups, no fixed schedule. Just you, the open road, and some of the best wines in New Zealand.
At On Yer Bike Winery Tours, all our routes are flat and easy, with wineries just 5–15 minutes apart. You pick up your bike and a map at our base in Roy's Hill, head out at your own pace, and return by 5pm — with any wine you've bought already collected and waiting for you.
And if a classic winery ride isn't quite your style, we're the only operator in Hawke's Bay that turns the whole day into a game. Our winery treasure hunt has you solving clues between cellar doors, while our murder mystery puts you in the middle of an interactive storyline — all on two wheels.
Whether you're after a relaxed afternoon with a partner or something a bit more memorable with a group, there's a version of this day that's right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the ride take?
Most people spend around 4–6 hours out on the trails, though there's no fixed schedule — you're free to go at your own pace. Choose one of our slots: 10:30am, 11:00am, or 12:00pm in summer and 11:00am or 12:00pm in winter. Once you arrive, we'll have you fitted and briefed in around 15 minutes. You then have until 5pm to return the bikes.
Can we choose our own wineries on the trail?
Yes, absolutely. All our trail routes are self-guided, so you choose which cellar doors to visit and how long to spend at each. We'll give you a map at the start with all the wineries marked, along with opening hours and a suggested route — but the day is entirely yours to shape.
What happens if it rains on the day of our bike tour?
Hawke's Bay has one of the sunniest climates in New Zealand, but if the weather does turn, come prepared. Light rain doesn't usually stop a good ride, but in the case of severe weather we'll work with you to reschedule to another day.
Do I need to be fit to do a winery bike trail in Hawke's Bay?
Not in our area. The routes around the Gimblett Gravels and Bridge Pa Triangle Wine Districts are flat — wineries are 5–15 minutes apart on easy trails. E-bikes are available if you'd rather arrive at each cellar door grinning than gasping.
Do you offer e-bikes?
Yes. On Yer Bike Winery Tours has 13 e-bikes for hire — 3 small frames, 5 medium frames, 2 large frames, and 3 extra large. Book an e-bike if you'd rather arrive at each cellar door grinning than gasping.
Are the winery trails suitable for kids?
Yes — we have kids' bikes and adult/child tandems in our fleet, so the whole family can ride together. The flat, easy trails are comfortable for younger riders. And if you want to keep the kids engaged between cellar doors, the treasure hunt is designed for exactly that.
