Guided E-Bike, Artisan Platter

E-bike day with Bike About from Angaston, with stops at Yalumba, the Barossa Valley Chocolate Company, Artisans of Barossa and the Barossa Valley Cheese Company.

Overview

This tour from Bike About covers 6 hours 30 minutes in the Barossa on an electric bike, starting at 09:00 from the cellar door at 40 Eden Valley Rd, Angaston. You ride between stops with a guide, and one reviewer counted about 25 km of cycling across the day. The motor takes the sting out of the distance, but you should be comfortable sitting on a bike for stretches at a time.

The route strings together food and wine rather than cellar doors alone. It begins and ends at Yalumba, where a signature cellar tour includes tasting wine straight from the barrel plus a look inside the working cooperage. From there the group rides to the Barossa Valley Chocolate Company for coffee and cake, then on to Artisans of The Barossa for a rarities tasting, and to the Barossa Valley Cheese Company for a cheese tasting. Back at Yalumba, an artisan platter is served with more tastings to close the day.

It suits travellers who want a mix of light activity and generous eating and drinking, and who would rather not drive between wineries. Groups are capped at 10. There is no hotel pickup, so you make your own way to Angaston for the start.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points worth knowing before you book this one.

• Meeting point. There is no hotel pickup, so plan your own transport to the cellar door at 40 Eden Valley Rd, Angaston. The tour starts at 09:00 and finishes back at the same spot.
• Riding distance. One reviewer logged about 25 km of cycling over the day. The bikes are electric and were described as being in super good condition, but a basic level of comfort on a bike helps.
• Food and drink. The listed inclusions cover coffee and cake at the chocolate company, a cheese tasting, a rarities wine tasting, and an artisan platter at Yalumba with more wine. The only exclusion the listing names is hotel pickup.
• Small group feel. The tour runs with a maximum of 10 travellers. One group reported having the guides almost to themselves, and several reviewers praised the guides as friendly, informative and fun.
• Who should skip it. The listing advises against it for travellers with back problems, pregnant travellers, and anyone with heart problems or other serious medical conditions. It is not wheelchair accessible.
• Weather and timing. You are outdoors on a bike for much of 6 hours 30 minutes, so dress for the day's conditions and bring sun protection. Confirmations are sent at the time of booking, so you have the details straight away.

Common issues. The main limit is accessibility: the tour is not wheelchair accessible and is not recommended for pregnant travellers or people with back problems or serious medical conditions. There is no hotel pickup, which means an early self-drive or transfer to Angaston for a 09:00 start. Cancellations inside 24 hours of the start time receive no refund, so a late change of plans costs the full amount. The day is also long on a saddle, so anyone unused to cycling should weigh the distance carefully.
