We have 1 full day in Bordeaux in June without a car and thought a wine tasting bike tour might be fun. Anyone have any experience with this and suggestions?

No affiliation, experience or review but I think Bordovino meets your criteria.
I might be inclined to take a GPS/Map and rent a bike in St. Emilion without a group but that would require more research.

well ,, are you going to be in the city of Bordeaux, or do you have a choice,, St Emilion is wonderful, you can get a bike , i think free, i don't remember, at the TI. The landscape id wonderful, of course plenty of Vineyards, IMHO, wine tasting is over rated, a lot of BS, and a waste of time. I think you'd bike ride as much as you want, and then go to a wine bar
As for the city of Bordeaux, it's nifty, and although i didn't go to the north of the city,, i think that's open to a lot of biking, I don't like cities, so naturally i would opt for St Emilion , its vary rural, has plenty of accessible POI and I'd go back in a second,wine or no wine, St Emilion is worthy on it's own.
