Self Guided eBike Tour from McLaren Vale
Quiet trails, country roads, charming towns and the thrill of the ride.
Start your adventure at the McLaren Vale & Fleurieu Coast Visitor Information Centre, where your eBike is ready and waiting. After a quick safety briefing and some local insights, you’ll set off along the scenic Shiraz Trail – a wide, off-road path that winds gently through vineyards, native trees and open farmland.
This part of the trail is all about relaxed riding. You’ll cruise past vineyards, big skies, and the occasional kangaroo as you make your way toward the historic village of Willunga – just a few easy kilometres away.
Explore Willunga – A Village Full of Character
Willunga is the perfect place to stretch your legs and soak up some local charm. This beautiful old town is known for its heritage buildings, art galleries, quirky boutiques and weekend markets. Find the Willunga Courthouse and Slate Museums at the top of High St.
Take your time wandering the leafy streets, grab a bite to eat or a coffee, and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere.
Loop Back the Scenic Way
From Willunga, your route loops back toward McLaren Flat via quiet country roads. This section is one of our favourites – peaceful, picturesque and full of surprise little moments.
You might pass a roadside fruit stall, spot local wildlife, or catch a glimpse of the sea in the distance. Of course there are many cellar doors and restaurants as well! The hardest aspect of the ride is deciding which to visit. It’s the kind of ride that reminds you why eBikes are the best way to explore – effortless, joyful and full of freedom.
In McLaren Flat you’ll join the Flat to Vale Trail, a smooth off-road path that leads you gently back to McLaren Vale. It’s a lovely final stretch – relaxed, easy and full of views.
Feeling Adventurous? Add the Aldinga Loop
If you're up for a bigger ride and want to make a full day of it, you can extend your journey after visiting Willunga by heading down the Willunga to Aldinga Trail. This dedicated path leads you through open farmland to the relaxed township of Aldinga.
A short ride through backstreets brings you to the stunning Port Willunga esplanade. Dip your toes in the ocean, grab a snack by the beach, or simply enjoy the sea breeze.
Complete the loop by riding the newly completed Bike Trail that runs northwards, parallel to South Road from Aldinga to meet the Coast to Vines Trail as it heads into McLaren Vale.
🏅 Note: The Aldinga loop is a significant ride – great for confident riders with time and energy to spare. The views make it more than worth the effort.
Whether you’re after a relaxing ride through the countryside or an epic day from vineyard to coastline and back, the Willunga Loop is your chance to experience the best of McLaren Vale at your own pace.
