But allow plenty of time when riding this route, as aside from the gorgeous scenery, the attractions are as bountiful as the region’s produce. 

Check out the abundance of artists and artisans, breweries, quirky cafés, restaurants and award-winning wineries along the way. 

Of course, there’s no need to tackle the whole route at once. Split into six mostly easy sections, covering Nelson to Waimea, Mapua, Motueka, Kaiteriteri and much more in between, the Great Taste Trail has lots of options for an excellent day ride.
