Welcome to the South Australian Food & Wine Indulgence Tour.

Let’s be honest, this is a Food & Wine tour (with cycling thrown in to alleviate your guilt!).

Each day on this tour will bring another layer of luxury and indulgence as you explore the world-famous wine regions of the Clare Valley, Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale. There will be tours and activities to nourish mind and soul, chef designed degustation experiences, sommelier matched wines, outstanding accommodation; the best of everything in this spectacular pocket of Australia.

Come on your own, as a couple, or in a small group… this is South Australia's food and wine country at its most indulgent, seen the best way we know how: from the seat of a bike!

WHY WE LOVE IT (AND WE THINK YOU WILL TOO)

WHO IS THIS TOUR FOR?

This tour is for cyclists who want a genuinely relaxed pace, with plenty of time set aside to enjoy each destination rather than rushing between them. It suits riders who care as much about the food, wine and accommodation as they do about the cycling itself - people looking for a real holiday on two wheels rather than a physical challenge. A moderate level of fitness is all that's needed, with a support vehicle always on hand if you'd like a break from the saddle. Whether you're travelling solo, as a couple, or with a small group of friends, you'll find good company and a genuinely indulgent week among South Australia's best wine regions.

Quick FAQs

How fit do I need to be for this tour? A moderate level of fitness is enough - the terrain is flat to undulating with some hills, averaging 52km a day over five riding days. This is a 4/10 difficulty tour designed for relaxed, unhurried riding, and a support vehicle is always on hand if you'd like a break.

What type of bike should I ride? A road or gravel bike with puncture-resistant tyres is ideal. Hybrid bikes are fine too, and e-bikes are welcome if you'd prefer some extra assistance.

What's the terrain and surface like? Mostly sealed bike paths and quiet country roads, plus one excellent fine-gravel rail trail - all well suited to a road or gravel bike.

What's included in the tour price? Accommodation every night, most meals (6 breakfasts, 4 lunches, 5 dinners, plus morning teas and snacks), guided wine tastings and experiences, entry to featured attractions, luggage transfer, and full support and safety vehicles.

What's the deposit and payment schedule? A deposit of $400pp secures your place, with a progress payment due 30 days later and the balance due 60 days before the tour departs.

What time of year does this tour run, and what's the weather like? The tour runs in late April and early May, as South Australia moves into a mild autumn - typically warm days and cool evenings, with the summer heat well behind and the vines often at their most colourful.

Is this tour suitable for solo travellers? Yes. Solo travellers can pay the single room rate, or join the Twin Share Request List to be paired with another solo traveller of the same gender.

Can I skip sections of the ride if I need to? Absolutely. The support vehicle travels with the group throughout the day, so you can hop in for a break or a lift whenever you'd like.
