When we refer to cycling tours Australia, we don’t mean the Cadel Evans style Tour Down Under! Our cycling tours are tailored for the occasional rider, perhaps a wanna be cyclist who needs to warm up the legs over a weekend or two. But mainly, someone who enjoys great food, even better wine and gentle outdoor activity against beautiful, natural Australian backdrops.
Tour de Vines’ cycling tours in Australia are relatively easy, always safe, and steer you to the best food and wine experiences in each of the regions we travel. Tour de Vines offers both small group guided and self guided itineraries. Read our blog post about the differences in guided and self guided cycling trips. Tours are run in Victoria, NSW and South Australia – see our list of tour offerings below. The focus on food and wine regions in regional areas.
Australia is a wonderful place to ride a bike. Beautiful weather, memorable scenery, and clean air making cycling a joy. This, on top of an increasingly sophisticated gourmet food scene and world class wines, makes Australia comparable to the famous cycling destinations of France and Italy. Being a wide open landscape, there is any number of distances, levels of cycling difficulty and number of days that can be put together to create an amazing cycling experience.
Victoria and South Australia are the best states to cycle in. This is mainly because those regions have invested in cycling infrastructure. There are great rail trails and other cycling routes that make cycling safe and hassle free. These two states are also arguably the home to the best food and wine in Australia, and for our guests that’s super important.
So join us on a guided or self guided cycling tour in Australia.
