Cool Experience - The management was very responsive to our needs and made sure we were well taken care of when one of our party had to leave the group. Beautiful scenery and lovely lunch spot at the Grape Escape Only one winery happened to be open on a Monday. Julie, Janet and Judy

Great day out - We were extra lucky as we got a perfect weather day, which made this really special. Chris picked us up from our accommodation, supplied us with good, easy to use e-bikes, talked us through the route and gave us paper and electronic mapping, as well as recommending food and drink stops along the way. The trail is mostly beautiful, running along the coast - in one section it is alongside a main road in a more built up area, but on a distinct cycle path - and the loop of Rabbit Island is particularly lovely, with the chance to stop along a huge sandy beach. We did the winery tasting (the tasting is pretty brief, the best bit was also having lunch in the garden restaurant), as well as stopping at the Grape Escape café (more sitting in the sun, beautiful garden) and the Eddyline Brewery. We had such a enjoyable day we overshot our timing - our full distance was over 60k, with several stops - but Chris was unfazed and simply arranged to pick up the bikes from us the following morning. Excellent day, really well put together.

Amazing taste trail ride - The e-bike made the ride a breeze. The views along the trail was amazing. The wine tastings were great. Chris and Bernie are such lovely couple who made sure we know what to do and where to go to make the best of our experience. Thanks 😊

Perfect for a girls trip! - We had a fantastic day, lots of laughs! Chris and Bernie were awesome, so friendly and flexible. Totally recommend!!!!

Best Bike Experience - Outstanding service, really made for a very enjoyable experience. One of the best things you can do when you come to Nelson. We felt very looked after and had a great adventure!

Fantastic - Absolutely beautiful trail. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the wine tasting was a nice add on. Would definitely recommend anyone who is coming to Nelson to give it a try.

Fun ride, great scenery - Beautiful and fun easy ride around the estuary. It's a good way to see plenty of sea birds. and Bernie were helpful and knowledgeable. The wine tasting was a little perfunctory but we enjoyed it, and had an excellent lunch at the winery.

Great Day Visiting Wineries using E-bikes - Note - TA did not give the correct option to select - we did the self guided e-bike but we did not have the Gentle Cycling Company set anything up for us. We decided to just rent the e-bikes and go it on our own with regards to wineries etc. We booked a table for lunch at Seifried winery and before we went there, we rode out to the beach at Rabbit Island - we didn't stay long, just a quick look and then did a bit of back tracking to Seifried. We had a nice wine tasting and lunch there. My husband had the muscles and really enjoyed them, and I had the chicken sandwich and thought it was okay. After lunch we cycled to Te Mania for another wine tasting. Another nice tasting although they were very busy and it took a bit of time. We were told that there was an excellent place to taste/buy cheese just another 500 M down the road but we didn't do that. In total we rode about 50K and using e-bikes was excellent as a more relaxing option, no sweat involved :-). The Great Taste Trail was fun and beautiful. I am a cyclist and had never tried an e-bike but for this type of thing (meaning I'm not looking for a workout), I absolutely loved it. The company was easy to work with and efficient. They told us that when they open at 9 AM they get a big rush, so we held off and showed up a bit before 10

Cycling , wine and scenery by bicycle is perfect! - The guide who picked us up was very friendly, organized and informative. We had clear instructions. We went to the winery and had lunch and a tasting then cycled back. The bikes were excellent. The scenery and the trail were wonderful!

Long day’s ride…. - Long, leisurely ride out to Mapua and very nice stop at a winery made the bike trip enjoyable. That said, it was a very long day in the saddle and casual riders need to prepared.
