It\u2019s a magnificent way to meander through the vineyard-filled surroundings, and not have to worry about who\u2019s the designated driver. You\u2019ll mostly be off-road as well \u2013 on lime pathways between at least seven places. AA Traveller produce an annual travel guide to the nation\u2019s cyclepaths and it\u2019s well worth a read. Not just this region, but links through to the next one, and you can plan a bunch of touring round the country with tips on hiring bikes, other things to do amongst the trails and so on.<\/p><p>Otherwise, this heartland is easily a day trip of anyone\u2019s time. Maybe you\u2019ve got a driver in hand \u2013 in which case it\u2019s not hard to negotiate through. Or book a day trip with a number of local operators.<\/p><p>Although Hawke\u2019s Bay has a rich heritage to it\u2019s winegrowing, the real key to it\u2019s success today is the ongoing innovation that keeps its wine at the cutting edge of what the worldwide consumer is looking for. Names like Vidal and Mission Estate are reminders of the pioneers of modern day winemaking, with the investment and experience that underlines the heart of Hawke\u2019s Bay as the fine wine region of NZ. The premium grape varieties like Syrah and Chardonnay are not only well-suited, but add to the diversity of produce in the Bay \u2013 using the free-draining, often gravelly types of soils that many other agricultural products do not thrive in.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0e6a377 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0e6a377\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-98e11ff\" data-id=\"98e11ff\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4208d2a elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"4208d2a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dfb3b5a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dfb3b5a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bafd38b\" data-id=\"bafd38b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-03d4436 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"03d4436\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you&#8217;re heading towards the region from Hastings, the first winery you will pass in the Gimblett Gravels is <strong>Pask<\/strong>\u00a0at 1133 Omahu Road.
