Experience the essence of South Australia on a relaxed, fully guided cycling journey that weaves through the Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills, and McLaren Vale. This seven day itinerary blends scenic trails, world-class wine, regional flavours, and warm hospitality in a small group setting, limited to just ten guests. Designed for recreational cyclists, each route offers gentle gradients and vehicle support, so the focus remains on the journey, not the pace.
From the rich reds of Barossa to the crisp whites of Clare, riders can look forward to five gourmet winery lunches, intimate tastings, and a unique winemaking tutorial at Wirra Wirra Wines. Off the bike, the experience is just as rewarding with handpicked accommodations including two nights in 5-star comfort in Adelaide and a premium stay in the historic village of Hahndorf. Evenings bring the chance to unwind with carefully selected dinners, including a multi-course affair at Hardy’s Verandah Restaurant for 2024/25 departures.
With everything taken care of from transfers and luggage to insider knowledge from local guides—this tour offers more than just a cycling holiday. It’s an invitation to slow down, savour South Australia’s beauty, and form genuine connections along the way.
