On your bike!

Discover the picturesque landscapes of McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Coast on an e-bike adventure.

Feel the wind in your hair as you pedal at your own pace or let an e-bike do the work for you, while you enjoy the stunning scenery!

✨Willunga to Aldinga✨
Explore the newly built 6km trail from Willunga to Aldinga. The trail is mostly flat, making for an easy ride between the two charming towns. Be sure to stop off at Old Coach Road precinct in Aldinga for a cheeky coffee or pastry and then head back to Willunga for a beer Shifty Lizard Brewing Co.

✨McLaren Vale to McLaren Flat✨
If riding through vineyards, spotting a kangaroo or two and stopping for a glass of wine sounds like you, then the Flat to Vale trail is a must. Head to Foggo Road and detour off the trail, where you will find Foggo Footsteps, a collective of small cellar doors.

✨Shiraz Trail✨
Runs between McLaren Vale and Willunga, connecting with the Flat to Vale Trail, Willunga to Aldinga Trail and Coast to Vines Rail Trail. It's a flat trail mainly, so soak in the scenery and maybe a glass of wine along the way at one of the cellar doors!

✨Witton Bluff Base Trail (coming soon)✨
Connecting Port Noarlunga and Christies Beach via an elevated board walk over the limestone shelf. The best part, there's excellent cafes at both Christies and Port Noarlunga for a post exercise latte.

E-Bike hire
Hiring an e-bike is easy through SA-eBikes or Deluxe Ebike Tours . Bikes can be picked up from the McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Coast Visitor Centre, Oxenberry Farm, Gemtree Wines, Hardys Wines or delivered to your accommodation. (pick up locations vary between hire options)
