Rutherglen Exploration

We’ll collect you from your accommodation at 8:00 am before taking a short drive to the Wagirra Trail. Here, you’ll enjoy a scenic 12 km riverside ride along a sealed, traffic-free cycle path following the beautiful Murray River.

Afterwards, we load up the bikes and hop back on the tour bus, heading to Rutherglen. Our first stop is a local favourite – Valentines Bakery – for coffee, tea, and delicious morning treats.

From there, it’s time to explore the Rutherglen Loops: 48 km of mostly sealed, low-traffic cycling paths designed for riders of all levels. Rutherglen itself is a vibrant village renowned for its world-class wines, fine dining, artisan stores, and rich gold rush history. Many of the family-run businesses here have been part of the community since the 1830s, adding to the town’s charm and authenticity.

Each cyclist will receive a hard copy trail map (also available digitally for your phone), so you can choose your own adventure—perhaps a ride out to a local winery, a peaceful detour to the iconic River Red Gums of Lake Moodemere, or a leisurely roll along the Murray River.

Along the way, you’ll find plenty of great options for lunch, from winery restaurants to cosy cafés and historic country hotels. If you’d like to purchase wine during your ride, don’t worry—we’ll collect and store your bottles safely on the tour bus.
