Tour de Hawke's Bay Estates: Cycling Tour Hawke's Bay

Barry and I cannot be more positive with our comments on the tour...staff were all lovely...did their upmost to make each day very memorable and enjoyable...lovely vineyards for tastings and lunches, where the food was always lovely and fresh, and lots of it. Napier/Hawke's Bay is such a great place, with so much to offer...it was a great trip.

Having loved our Beechworth to Bright ride with Tour de Vines last year, we decided to give the Hawke's Bay trip a go. It could not have been better. Lovely countryside, easy riding, an amazing variety of wineries to visit and sensational food. We have been to New Zealand a few times, but Hawke's Bay is now my favorite area. The quirkiness of Napier, with its fabulous Art Deco buildings, the friendly people, beautiful countryside, it's how the world should be!
The organization was outstanding. Takaro Trails actually runs these two trips a year for Tour de Vines, and they are absolutely brilliant. They maintain the friendliness and ambience that we enjoyed so much with Damian last year and pack a heap of fantastic stuff into the short time.
If you go (and I highly recommend it) spend a couple of days in Napier before the trip and you won't be disappointed. We went trout fishing afterwards and explored the area enroute to Wellington. It was a memorable holiday, and only a 4 hour flight!
