Just 45 minutes south of Adelaide, McLaren Vale is your gateway to the ultimate ride. Framed by the Mt Lofty Ranges and 30 kilometres of pristine coastline, this is a landscape made for exploration – where coastal trails, vineyard valleys and hill climbs come together in spectacular fashion.

With iconic routes like the Coast to Vines Rail Trail, the Shiraz Trail and the legendary Willunga Hill climb, McLaren Vale is built for cyclists. Whether you're chasing the pace of the Santos Tour Down Under or taking your time between cellar doors, every ride is an invitation to discover more.

What’s a ride without the perfect place to recharge? The McLaren Vale Wine Region offers boutique stays for every style, from rustic cottages, luxury villas and architect-designed eco-retreats to everything in between. Nestled among vines, near the coast or in the heart of a township, you’ll find space to unwind and soak up the region.

Travelling solo, as a couple, with mates or the whole crew? You’ll find a place that fits, complete with warm hospitality, local touches and the kind of views worth waking up for.

McLaren Vale is Australia’s most sustainable wine region. Looking after the land isn’t a trend, it’s a way of life. From pioneering water conservation to region-wide organic and biodynamic practices, our growers and winemakers are committed to doing things better. Over a third of our vineyards are certified organic or biodynamic, and nearly 80% are managed under the Sustainable Winegrowing Australia program. This is a region that leads by example, with deep roots in environmental responsibility and innovation.

That care extends far beyond the vineyards. McLaren Vale is a landscape shaped by nature. It’s a dream terrain for riders, with quiet gravel tracks in Blewitt Springs, challenging climbs around Kangarilla, and flowing trails that connect hills to coast. Every ride here is a reminder of why protecting this place matters.
