About this tour
Pedal through South Australia's Clare Valley over three days, following the Riesling Rail Trail past heritage vineyards and cellar doors. You'll cycle at your own pace between Auburn and Clare, stopping at up to five wineries to taste their offerings whilst enjoying locally-sourced meals. Two nights' accommodation—one in Auburn, one in Clare—plus breakfast, lunch and dinner are sorted. A self-guided ride through wine country without the rush.

What to expect
You'll spend your days on the bike, typically riding 20–30 kilometres between stops. Each morning you collect your bicycle and head out along the Rail Trail, a flat to gently rolling route through established vineyards. Lunchtime arrives mid-ride; dinner is arranged each evening in town. Winery visits are self-directed—the tasting fees are covered, so you simply roll up, taste, chat with staff, and decide what to buy. A support vehicle follows the route to collect any purchases and ferry your luggage ahead, so you arrive at each night's accommodation without a heavy pack. By day three you'll have a feel for the region's Rieslings and the slower pace of valley life.
Good to know
Bring or hire a bike and helmet (hire available locally at extra cost). You'll need moderate fitness for cycling three days; the route is flat but covers distance. Public transport reaches Auburn to start. Minimum age 18 for wine tastings. The 3-star Auburn digs are comfortable; Clare's 4-star offers more polish.
