Riesling Trail
Donnybrook Cottages is located directly on the Riesling Trail, one of South Australia’s most iconic cycling trails, winding through the heart of the Clare Valley wine region. Originally a railway line, this 35km trail stretches from Auburn to Barinia, passing through Clare and offering a picturesque route for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers.
Perfect for recreational walking and cycling, the trail is a fantastic way to explore the region at your own pace. Bike hire is available just metres down the road from Donnybrook Cottages, making it easy to set off on a cycling adventure. Along the way, you’ll discover renowned cellar doors, charming townships and stunning vineyard views, with plenty of opportunities to stop and soak in the beauty of the Clare Valley.
For those looking to explore without retracing their steps, the Riesling Trail also features three loop trails, allowing for varied and flexible routes. Convenient car parking is also available in Clare, Sevenhill, Watervale and Auburn, making access simple for visitors. Cellar door purchases can be shipped to your accommodation in the Clare Valley or to your home.
Whether you're after a leisurely ride, a scenic stroll or a wine-tasting journey, the Riesling Trail is a must-do experience during your stay at Donnybrook Cottages and we recommend allowing at least 2 hours to enjoy this stretch of countryside. Step outside, breathe in the fresh valley air and immerse yourself in the natural charm of this world-class wine region.
