About:
Starting just across the road from our shop, you will ride along the coastal trail to the historic area of Ahuriri. Here you can visit one of the many cafes, bars and restaurants.
Choose to continue the longer way along a stunning coast to visit Crab Farm winery and reconnect to the shorter route in the protected wetlands that are home to a number of bird species. And from there it’s just a short ride until you reach Mission Estate Winery and Church Road Winery.
Enjoy wine tasting and lunch here before the shuttle bus arrives to transport you back to Napier.
