Top Nelson Food Tours

Ride Tasman's Great Taste Trail from Cycle Nelson's Tāhunanui base on an e-bike, at your own pace. The trail is flat, well signed and mostly off-road, through coastal and rural country. Every option includes a tasting at Seifried, the South Island's oldest family winery, first planted in 1973. Our team fits your e-bike and helmet, gives you a trail map and talks you through the route. Free parking, 5 km from Nelson city. Bronze: Classic Wine & Cycle. 44 km return to Seifried, with optional café, artisan food and microbrewery stops. Silver: Coastal Wine & Ride. 22 km along the coast to Seifried, then the 4:30pm shuttle brings you and your bike back to Nelson. Gold: Wine & Dine. Our most popular day, 30 km. Seifried, Rabbit Island, a short boat crossing to Māpua and a second tasting at the wharf, then a road transfer to Nelson. Food is at your own cost. Seifried's cellar door is open daily, 11am to 4pm. Cycle Nelson has run tours on the Great Taste Trail for 17 years.
