This morning, you will be picked up from your accommodation at 08:00 and transferred to Marino Rocks, where you will collect your e-bike and take a short ride to a cafe for coffee (included) and a tour briefing for the days ahead.

Afterwards, you will be guided along the Coast to Vines Rail Trail and the world-famous McLaren Vale. Winding along Marino's magnificent coastal cliffs and through the foothills of the renowned McLaren Vale wine region, the Coast to Vines Rail Trail offers simply stunning views while exploring the diverse attractions the region has to offer. While you’re making your way through the beautiful surroundings, your luggage will be taken to the accommodation in preparation for your arrival at approximately 12:30.

This evening, you will be staying at the spectacular Serafinos, surrounded by vines and ancient gum trees overlooking the magnificent lake. The Serafino story started in 1964, when Steve (Serafino) Maglieri arrived in Australia from Italy as a passionate teenager full of dreams. Today Steve’s daughter, Maria Maglieri is at the helm of Serafino Wine’s 300 acres of prime McLaren Vale vineyards.

You’ll have the remainder of the day at leisure to explore. We suggest visiting the iconic d’Arenberg Cube, which is a short 4.5-kilometre ride from Serafino.

Afterwards, ride through the stunning Heysen - The Cedars property, home to the iconic landscape painter and early conservationist Sir Hans Heysen - before arriving at Shaw and Smith. Shaw and Smith makes wines exclusively from the Adelaide Hills, from varieties that suit the cooler climate: sauvignon blanc, riesling, chardonnay, pinot noir and shiraz. Here you will enjoy a tasting of selected wines.

Next, it’s onto either The Lane Vineyard winery or Beerenberg Farm (see below) for lunch at 12.30. From here your guide will depart and you will have the remainder of the day to explore this picturesque, German-heritage town at leisure.

This morning you will be picked up and transferred to Oakbank, where you will be guided along the Amy Gillett Rail Trail to Mount Torrens. This stunning bikeway is shared with walkers, those on horseback and winds 17 kilometres through small townships and alongside vineyards in the Adelaide Hills countryside.

Once arrived at Mount Torrens, the bikes will be loaded into a support vehicle and you will be transferred to Sandy Creek, where you will jump back on the e-bikes and ride along the picture-perfect Barossa Rail Trail to Lyndoch for lunch (not included). After lunch, you will continue on to Tanunda riding through the Jacob’s Creek vineyard, the Barossa’s first commercial vineyard. This section showcases some of the state’s most beautiful natural terrain. Every turn offers a new surprise as towering gums give way to sweeping vistas and vineyards, against the backdrop of the Barossa Range.

This evening, you will stay at the centrally located Barossa Weintal Hotel in Tanunda. The town is known for being the heart and soul of the Barossa Valley, filled with distinct church spires, cafes, restaurants, wineries and boutique shops.

Overnight: Barossa Weintal

Meals included: None

You will have today at your own leisure to explore the beautiful Barossa. We recommend exploring Barossa’s premium food, wine and rich heritage on the quality sealed cycling trail from Angaston to Gawler via the three main townships of Nuriootpa, Tanunda and Lyndoch.

The trail is a fantastic way to explore the region, some of the highlights include:
• Ride the trail to Angaston and experience Yalumba, Australia's most historic family-owned winery for six generations, which was established in 1849. This magnificent estate is located near the town of Angaston in Eden Valley in the Barossa region. Highly recommended!
• An icon of the Barossa, the Chateau Tanunda, which was established in 1890.
• Peter Lehmann Wines, a fifth-generation Barossan who established the winery in 1979.

For those wanting to get off the trail, you can head to the Seppeltsfield Barossa Historic Winery Estate, established in 1851. Often regarded as one of Australia’s most successful wine dynasties, the Seppelt family maintained ownership of their wine interest until 1985. Now owned by viticulturist and winemaker Warren Randall, who worked for the Seppelt family during the 1980s, and is passionate to continue the Seppelt family legacy.

Another recommended stop would be at Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop, one of Australia’s most well-known culinary icons. Inspired by the Barossa Valley’s abundance of fresh produce, Maggie is a respected mentor to many in the area and is celebrated for her entrepreneurial skills and natural leadership abilities in the gourmet food arena.

Once arrived in Glenelg, you will return your bikes and have the remainder of the day at leisure to explore the beauty of Adelaide’s favourite seaside destination.

TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER 
Tour Guide 
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group. 
 
Tour Leader 
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined. 
Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.
