The 6 Best Bike and Wine Tours in Australia

1.McLaren Vale Wine Tour by Bike

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 154 reviews · from $142Our pick

Start with Adelaide pickup, then ride quality mountain bikes from Kuitpo Forest through McLaren Vale’s vineyards. Guides Ian or Lee lead a small group of up to nine to two wineries, a local produce lunch, and possibly a brewery. Most riding is easy and downhill, but some off-road sections need basic fitness.

“This is an absolute must do!!! The countryside scenery can not be experienced on foot or in a van, it just can't. The lovely smell of the flowers, the wind in your hair and the smile on your face as you travel on the bikes is second-to-none. I would do this tour, again and again. Ian was our guide, he was professional, safe and fun to spend the day with!”
