January 2025: Stage 4 Tour Down Under

Stage 6 is a favourite for the spectators and is heralded as the 'Queen' stage of the Santos Tour Down Under - and 2023 will be no different. The Tour passes Mulberry Lodge 4 times during the race.  McLaren Vale and Willunga are in  party mode during the race, with the peloton passing the Mulberry Lodge front gate 4 times before heading for iconic Willunga Hill.. Fans flock roadside to cheer on their heroes in what is often the deciding stage of the Santos Tour Down Under. Bring a deck chair and a picnic and join us at our gate for a fun day cheering on the race and socialising. Helicopter rides with Helivista  to follow the peloton can be booked via Mulberry Lodge.
