7-Day South Australia Food & Wine E-Bike Tour

"Discover the Best of South Australia in 7 Days"

Join us on an unforgettable journey, spanning three remarkable regions, covering over 130 kilometers, and filled with incredible experiences.

Our adventure begins with a leisurely coffee and tour briefing against the backdrop of our unspoiled coastline. From there, we'll follow the enchanting Coast to Vines trail, leading us into the captivating wine region of McLaren Vale. This is where you'll find the iconic d'Arenberg Cube and the rolling hills of the Mt Lofty Ranges. Here, we'll indulge in a day of exclusive wine exploration, visiting renowned wineries such as Beerenberg, Udderdelights, Shaw & Smith, and The Lane Winery.

As we continue our odyssey, we'll devote two full days to the crown jewel of Australian wine regions—the Barossa Valley. This celebrated
area boasts a rich history spanning over 170 years, with notable stops at Maggie Beer, Seppeltsfield, and Yalumba. Your senses will be dazzled by the incredible experiences on offer.

Our journey comes to a breathtaking close with a river ride along the enchanting Red Gum-studded Linea Pk, leading us back to the sandy
shores of Glenelg Beach. Here, you'll luxuriate in beachfront accommodations at The Stamford Grand.

Throughout this 7-day cycling escape, you'll become fully immersed in South Australia's world-renowned destinations. We invite you to
savor every moment, from the touch of the breeze to the taste of fine wine and delectable cuisine.
