The tour was almost a private tour since there was only one other couple which was really nice. I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Malibu.”

We had the picnic and I honestly didn’t have high hopes but it was great! They had two covered areas with tables over looking the vineyards. I opted for vegetarian and had a variety of fruits, berries and dip. My husband’s included a variety of hams with the veggies. We were also given a baguette to share. We each got a a glass of wine of our choosing and a cup of coffee with a canella (local pastry). Everything was fresh, delicious and we were sufficiently full.…”

Alcúdia/Can Picafort: Guided Vineyard Visit and Wine Tasting

10.Alcúdia/Can Picafort: Guided Vineyard Visit and Wine Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 88 reviews · 2 - 4 hours · from $58

Travel by coach from Alcúdia, Playa de Muro, or Can Picafort to a family-run winery producing about 30,000 bottles a year. An owner-guide leads you through the vineyards, cellar, and barrel room before five wine tastings with local snacks. The tour runs in English, German, or Spanish, with bottles available at special prices.

“BEWARE: the transfer to this tour is awful. When you are booking it you have an option of 3 pick up points, but on the day you will also stop at about 7 different hotels. This makes what should be a 20 minute drive over an hour. We were picked up in Alcudia at 3.40pm (10 mins late) and didn't reach the winery until 4.40pm. That being said, the tour itself was great! The owner was incredibly nice and knowledgeable the wine was brilliant and the setting was beautiful. Would go back in a heartbeat, but would make my own way there.”

12.Great Escape Self-Guided Scenic Cycle Winery Tour from Napier

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 75 reviews · from $49

Start near Napier’s Art Deco center and follow a mostly flat 28km cycle route past coastal wetlands, the Ātea a Rangi Star Compass, the Tukituki River, and up to four wineries. You get a bike, helmet, map, mechanical backup, and a 4pm shuttle from Black Barn. Tastings, lunch, and drinks cost extra.

“This bike tour is an excellent way to enjoy some of the Hawkes Bay countryside up close. A fine day (pretty common for the region) made it a truly enjoyable experience. Do start early so you are not pressed for time with tasting at the wineries. Ideally, the pickup point would be the furthest winery - Te Awanga - and it would be possible to pick up purchases from all three sites rather than just Elephant.Hill. The bikes were excellent - gear changing very easy.”

Having recently moved to the area, I gave this experience as birthday gift to my husband as I was secretly keen to have a go on the electric bikes . We weren't disappointed. The instructions to use the bikes was thorough and the route was fantastic, taking narrow tracks through the countryside surrounded by beautiful scenery and interesting farm buildings and oast houses. We visited one vineyard (Balfour Hush Heath) and enjoyed tasting the bubbly and then moved on to visit Sissinghurst Castle. The bikes worked extremely well and the whole day was fantastic - highly recommend. Marcus and…”
