Tour de Riesling Rail Trail: Cycling Clare Valley

We did the self guided 2 day Riesling trail from Auburn to Clare (return) in early October. Everything went incredibly smoothly and with the logistics so expertly and smoothly taken care of by Tour de Vines we were free to simply ride, savor and enjoy. The trail descriptions were spot on and the verbal update to be aware of some swooping magpies that had recently turned up reflected the care and attention to detail that characterised the whole Tour de Vines approach. The lunch bookings were fabulous, and the flexible and relaxed timeframes meant we were free to take our time and linger or move on quickly. Both scenery and food could not be faulted. The recommended wineries to visit were also great, and a well marked map also meant we were free to adapt as we liked. The bikes were of a great quality and made for easy riding. The entire process, from our initial inquiries to the end of the ride, was extremely professionally managed and enjoyable. We would definitely recommend Tour de Vines, and look forward to another experience with them soon. Great stuff Damian and Andrew!

We just came back from a girls' weekend away, cycling the Riesling Trail in the Clare Valley. It was amazing and we would all definitely do it again next weekend if it was possible. There were 9 of us with varying cycling abilities but the high quality bike hire made the cycling enjoyable for any fitness level. We thought the tour was great value for money. We did the self-guided option and had no trouble following the maps and directions. The accommodation was perfect, the food delicious, the hospitality friendly and the scenery amazing. We are already planning our next group trip and some of us are planning other trips with partners/family. So much better than a winery trip sitting in the car.
