Riesling Trail
A 35 km cycling trail built on an old railway line, linking vineyards, historic towns, and wineries from Auburn to Clare.
Built on the bed of an old branch railway that opened in 1918, the trail runs from Auburn in the south to Clare in the north and extends on to Burra. Along the way, it passes through the villages of Watervale, Penwortham, and Sevenhill. The gentle gradients are flanked by Riesling vineyards and eucalyptus groves, and nearly every few kilometers there is a winery cellar door where you can stop for a tasting. Bicycles and e-bikes can be rented in Clare and Auburn. A one-way ride takes about 2 to 3 hours, and you can book a car transfer for a one-way trip. Carry plenty of water in summer, and don't push yourself to ride after tasting.
