Stage 1 - Tour Down Under


Each year the Tour Down Under rides past the winery in a flash. The slow and exciting build up as we wait to watch the cyclists zoom down the hill is heightened by the numerous police cars ringing their sirens and stopping traffic before the race passes us by.

We all stood out the front waving our teams flag to cheer the boys on. Stage 1 of the tour runs a 129km route from Mawsons Lake to Angaston. We are somewhere around the 80km mark of the race just after the Lotteries Sprint in Lyndoch.

The riders came past at 12:30, just in time for lunch and just enough time to take the back roads to Angaston to see the finish line.

Come and join us next year for lunch to cheer on the yellow jersey.
