Mclaren Vale Hills Vines and Wines Bike Tour from Adelaide

1. Mclaren Vale Hills Vines and Wines Bike Tour from Adelaide

You will be picked up in central Adelaide and transported to Kuitpo Forest, a beautiful spot above the McLaren Vale wine region. You will be provided with a good quality mountain bike with front suspension & disc brakes, and a helmet if you do not have your own. Set off to explore the forest. Kangaroos and koalas can regularly be seen on the ride. Next is a lovely descent down Willunga Hill towards McLaren Vale, and then it’s time for wine tasting. Then ride through the vineyards and stop at a number of local wineries to sample their fare and perhaps purchase some wine to take home with you. Stop for a lunch comprising of a local produce platter along the way.  In the afternoon leave it to the group to decide your final visits- maybe a micro-brewery, another winery, a cafe/chocolate stop for a little desert, or if it’s really warm maybe a swim stop at one of the beautiful beaches that fringe the Vale. Finally, you will be picked up and transported back to Adelaide.  The ride is fairly leisurely and is suitable for anyone who is happy riding a bike on firetracks and country roads. The van can also pick up your wine purchases along the way so you don't have to carry them.

Excellent!

We had a really wonderful day exploring the Mclaren Vale Hills. We are a couple and were joined by 4 other passengers who we all got along with really well. We all had E-Bikes (we are relatively fit and have never used E-Bikes before) and would totally recommend again! They were so easy to use, made the ride so much more enjoyable and everyone stayed as a group as we all went at a similar speed. The wine tastings were delicious at both venues as was the lunch. Our group then went to the microbrewery which was an extra charge if we bought anything - but didn't break the bank balance at all. The day was really well run by Ian and I would 100% recommend this trip. Thank you!

Good fun. Small group. First part of the ride is a mountain bike track; a little bit challenging. Lunch delicious selection of local produce. Wineries and boutique brewery offered good selection.

Our guide Phil was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He continued telling us about history and stories of SA throughout the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you Phil!
