The Experience

The tour starts with a house-made pastry and coffee or tea at Bloom Cafe, then you mount an electric bike and head toward Adelaide Oval for a quick look. From there the route follows the River Torrens Linear Park Trail, a long, flat stretch alongside the water that makes up the bulk of the ride. You pass through the Riverbank Precinct, cruise by Adelaide University's historical buildings on North Terrace, and see the State Library, South Australian Museum, and Art Gallery as you go. The e-bike handles the pedaling assist, so the pace stays easy even over the full distance.

Midway through, you ride into the Adelaide Botanic Gardens and pull up at the National Wine Centre of Australia. Here you sit down with a charcuterie board and an Australian wine flight (or soft drink if you're under 18 or prefer not to drink). After tasting, you have time to walk through the Botanic Gardens and Botanic Park, and you'll pass the Adelaide Zoo before the final stretch along the River Torrens brings you back to Bloom Cafe. The whole outing is guided, so navigation and timing are handled; you just ride and stop when the guide does.

Top questions

How far do you actually ride on the e-bikes during this tour?

The River Torrens Linear Park Trail stretch covers 15–20km on the e-bikes, which makes up the main body of the ride. The e-bike motor assists the pedaling, so the distance is manageable even for riders who don't cycle regularly.

What landmarks do you pass on the bike route through Adelaide?

You pass Adelaide Oval early on, then ride past North Terrace's cluster of historical buildings—the State Library, South Australian Museum, Adelaide University, and the Art Gallery. The route also takes you through the Riverbank Precinct, past St Peters Cathedral and University Bridge, and by the Adelaide Zoo before returning to the start.

Is the wine tasting included, or do I pay extra?

The wine flight and charcuterie board at the National Wine Centre are included in the tour price. If you're under 18 or don't drink alcohol, you get a soft drink instead.

Do I need to be an experienced cyclist to do this tour?

The tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels. The e-bikes provide motor assistance, and the River Torrens trail is flat, so you don't need cycling experience—just the ability to ride a bike.

What's provided at the start of the tour?

Bloom Cafe provides a house-made pastry and your choice of coffee or tea before you set out on the bikes, so you start with something in your stomach.

Can children join this tour?

Children are welcome from age 12 and up. Under-18s receive a soft drink instead of wine at the National Wine Centre tasting.
