Cycling the Shiraz Trail

Helium_Teapot 25 reviews

You can hire bicycles at either Almond Train or Oxygen Cycles in the main street. From there you are able to join the Shiraz trail which runs along the linear park. The sealed path is a shared pedestrian, cycle and horse route which is reasonably flat. It connects the visitors centre, Main street and Kangarilla and McMurtrie Roads. Along the way there are several cafe's and restaurants, as well as wineries where you can stop for something to eat or drink.

Cellardoor - Hardy's Tintara

A veritable name, Hardy's Tintara cellardoor is located right in the middle of town. I liked to professionalism of the cellardoor's somellier who made sure the wine we tasted were ideal - if not, a new bottle would be opened. Reds are served in Bordeaux glass which accentuated the aroma. Had a very good experience with the 2002 Shiraz.

Oak Barrels

An old and established vineyard now owned by the stock market listed Southcorp group, it is one of the more famous wine producers in the Vale. The cellardoor is well decorated, rustic with many large old oak barrels for visitors to look at. The people running the cellardoor are a friendly and helpful couple. One good thing about Rosemount is that you could sample it's premium wines without paying a "deposit"/testing fee.
I particularly enjoyed their 2004 GSM blend which wasn't expensive.

K1 winery must be one of the best winery's I have ever visited, the selection of wines are absolute stunning and the surroundings are unbelievable.

Relax on the balcony or around the lake and enjoy some beautiful wines.

Bring a pinic basket and spend some time relaxing.
