A Family-Friendly eBike Adventure Through McLaren Vale: Wildlife, Wine & Play
Family Fun in McLaren Vale
Looking for a full day of fresh air, local flavours, and maybe even a kangaroo or koala sighting? This family-friendly eBike loop through McLaren Vale is the perfect way to explore the region at your own pace. With wide trails, shady stops, and activities for all ages, it’s a relaxing ride designed for families, grandparents, and curious visitors alike.
Start your day on the Flat to Vale Trail, gliding from Oxenberry Farm past vineyards and open countryside. This trail is smooth, scenic, and safe — ideal for kids or those hopping back on a bike for the first time in years.
Woodstock Wine Estate is a must-visit for wildlife lovers. While the grown-ups enjoy a relaxed tasting or a picnic on the lawn, kids (and adults!) can meet kangaroos, emus, and wallabies at the Woodstock Wildlife Sanctuary. Animal feeding takes place daily at 11:30am — bookings essential for this unforgettable experience.
Next up is Beresford Estate, where you can recharge with delicious wood-fired pizzas or take a seat at the Vale Restaurant for more dining options. Both venues offer sprawling lawns and outdoor games — perfect for post-lunch playtime.
Art and wine meet at DogRidge Wines, a quirky cellar door with a family-friendly vibe and space to relax. Consider booking ahead for exclusive use of Pickers Hut at Shottesbrooke where you can enjoy a gorgeous picnic area with plenty of space for the kids to run around. From here ride along the gum tree-lined driveway, past The Currant Shed, and on to McLaren Flat’s General Store. Grab an ice-cream, coffee, or sweet snack before riding the Flat to Vale trail back to Oxenberry Cafe.
Our Family eBike options are always popular so booking ahead will make it easier to have a great day on the Trail with your family
