Day 2

Your friendly Bike About guide will pick you up and transport you to the beautiful Langhorne Creek wine region. Winding your way through the vineyards on electric bikes, you will visit wineries on the Grapes for Good trail, a conservation initiative of Monarto Safari Park and six wineries, including Bremerton Wines, Kimbolton, Vineyard Road, The Wine House and Bleasdale Winery. After taking in the fresh air and stunning views, and of course a taste or two of the local drop at each stop, you will follow the Bremer River to Lake Breeze. Once you’ve arrived you will be treated to a tasty picnic and bottle of sparkling Blanc de Blanc (with the option to swap to a red or white wine if that tickles your fancy!). Each of the Grapes for Good wineries features a wine that supports an animal at Monarto Safari Park. Part proceeds from the sale of these wines supports Zoos SA’s conservation work to help save vulnerable species from extinction in the wild. Why not collect all six along the trail? Grapes for Good is proof that wine can be a force for good. Every drop can go a little further and make a real difference. At the end of the day, you will be then transferred back to the Manna.
