  We had a fabulous time cycling from Auburn to Clare with Tour de Vines. They are a professional, personable, well-organised outfit. The quality of the bikes were very good, the accommodation was comfortable and the winery/meal inclusions were nicely chosen. We opted to visit the two gin distilleries as one of our party doesn’t drink wine due to an allergy. They were both excellent in different ways. Sawmill Gin (our favourite) has a lovely story behind it and was worth travelling a little way off the trail, whereas, Clare Gin Distillery is brand spanking new. It was hot - as anticipated at this time of the year - the e-bikes were a Godsend as much of the ride is on an incline. We highly recommend the experience.

  Great experience , we enjoyed every moment . Accommodation selections were very good Amy's Cottage, Rising Sun Hotel and Clare Country Club all good . We took e-bikes which suited us , Kent from Bike supplier was very helpful and got us away easily , he arrived on time and gave us plenty of tips. Winery stops were all good . Great meals at both Skillagalee and O'Leary Walker . Plenty of additional stops from those suggested if you want to move off the trail. Trail ride itself was very accessible and no real gradient difficulties for us . Will do again in other locations in the future . Tour staff very helpful in the lead in and all arrangements were in place for a seemless trail ride . Thanks. Greg

• Great fun! Safe cycling and great wine and good experience!

  This trip was arranged by Tour de Vines for us. We also included the Barossa and the McLaren Vale cycle options. It was a very shaky start as we were given the wrong itinerary expecting to be collected from our hotel- this did not happen, and we were expected to have a car available to get between each start point. Very stressful to begin with. However, we managed to get that sorted and hired a car to begin these cycle rides. The Barossa was wet so wide drove the cycle plans instead. Great stop at St Hallets Winery. Drove onto the Clare which was the best riding option and scenery for us of the three valleys. First nights' accommodation was marginal. Great trail and plans were well arranged by the company. They had selected the best locations for lunch and wine tasting. Our accommodation in Clare was exceptional at the Clare Country Club Make sure you visit SevenHills -a must on this trail. Then a drive down to the McLaren Vale with an excellent stop in Hansdorf-Adelaide Hills- only issue there was the room was not great and we looked out on tin roofs !!! Check where they put you as there are better options available. Short bike ride in the McLaren Vale- high light being the stop in WiraWira Winery- fantastic. So- check you have the correct itinerary for your booking / check the accommodation in Hansdorf. We did not want to drive back to Adelaide and opted to head down to the coast Victor Harbour. The company would do no refunds for us change- stating they had already paid for the options we decided not to do. i.e., 1x dinner/ 1x hotel night and breakfast. I failed to understand why they could not hold those payments in reserve for further bike bookings!!!! So, the cost was increased by having to book a rental car when not expected. And the lack of consideration for the cancellation of plans. Read you details very carefully before paying up.

  We did the 5 night fully guided tour of Barossa, Claire and McLaren Vale regions. Wow what an amazing experience Our guide Peter was fabulous and ensured at all times we were being catered for and enjoying ourselves. Accommodation wonderful Food and wine outstanding Cycling beautiful Loads of laughs However… the admin at back end not easy to deal with in lead up to trip . I feel this side of business needs some attention. Would definitely go again

  A sensational weekend trip! Incredible lunch at Skillogalee at a leisurely cycle along the Riesling trail to other great wineries in the area. The itinerary perfectly covered aspects of the Clare Valley and had great coffee and dinner recommendations. Would recommend to anyone looking to explore the Clare valley! Can’t wait to do it again.

  After a slightly confusing start we realised we just needed to relax and enjoy- we had a beautiful trip. Bikes were excellent, scenery awesome, food superb, fantastic night in front of the fire in Auburn! Hot tub at Clare was a treat! O’Leary Walker Winery fabulous finish. Staff - Emily- a delight- thank-you.

  Had a lovely time in South Australia. We wanted some exercise on top of the good food and wineries. Tour De Vine's Reisling Trail was great to break up the time we had. It was really good that it was self guided as we could adapt to what suited us which was alot of cycling! We did Rattlers Trail on Day 1 , 38 km and then Day 2 started the official tour taking the alternative loops John Horrocks as well as on Day 3 the Father Ralgoski Loop which was quite a challenge... as we wanted to visit Pikes Winery but hey it meant we could enjoy the food and wine on the way. No lack of wine or food, generous portions and all places we visited were so friendly and interested. Good old country welcomes everywhere. Kent who delivered our bikes was excellent, making sure everyday we were ok and did not require anything with some great suggestions. thanks will be looking at another tour next we cycle :) PS we did 113km but most people only do 66km so its your race ....
