Embrace the Race

Get ready to Embrace the Race as Tanunda’s Main Street comes alive with colour, energy and a buzzing festival atmosphere in the heart of the Barossa.
This vibrant, family-friendly celebration coincides with the Santos Tour Down Under double header, featuring the Vanguard Men’s Stage 1 (Tanunda to Tanunda) followed by the Vanguard Women’s One Day Race.

Make a day of it in Tanunda and soak up the atmosphere with live race viewing, entertainment and activities for all ages. There’ll be face painting, a silent disco, a bubble artist, roving performers and plenty more happening throughout the day, making it a great event for kids, families and cycling fans alike.

After the excitement of the Men’s Stage 1 race, stay and Wine’Down before the Women’s race begins. Take time to explore Tanunda’s eateries, cellar doors and hospitality venues, support local businesses and enjoy the Barossa at its best.

Whether you’re a dedicated cycling enthusiast or simply looking for a fun day out, Embrace the Race is a fantastic way to experience world-class cycling alongside a welcoming community celebration.

Come along, embrace the energy and be part of the excitement as Tanunda celebrates Australia’s greatest cycling event.
