La Grande Gita - All Part Of The Italian Festival

Thank you to all who attended La Grande Gita 2022. Stay tuned for more information on La Grande Gita 2023. 

Bike SA is proud to partner with the Adelaide Italian Festival to bring this wonderfully sumptuous weekend festival of riding. 

Presenting a family-friendly Barossa ride experience – from quiet backroad and flat rail trail riding to some of the most challenging gravel and bitumen riding in the Barossa.  All this combined with local produce and wine tastings and in the tradition of our European friends. La Grande Gita is the definition of a fun day out. 

Whatever your passion, this event has you covered. A family ride through the beautiful Barossa Valley. Multiple ride options and a choice of road or road & gravel riding. The chance to show off your vintage bike and clothes, or come as you are.  

From our event village at Calabria Family Wines and their partners at Harvest Kitchen you will have the opportunity to ride the quiet gravel backroads of the Barossa, and yes some bitumen too. As well as the sedate off-road Barossa Trail and more. Between riding, our select Italian wineries will open their cellar doors for you to linger, chat with like-minded folks, flash your bike bling and taste the bounty of the Barossa – great wines, beers and coffees, and of course fine local produce 

La Grande Gita offers routes catering to all abilities – young and old. 

Challenge yourself to the 60km Grande, the more sedate 44km Mezzo or the more leisurely, winery lingering 25km Piccolo meander.

New in 2022, Mega Grande is an additional extended-distance challenge ride option for those who want more gravel and more pedaling.

The signature Adelaide Italian Festival ride.
