Brewing Excitement at the Santos Tour Down Under 2026

 ☕ Join Grinders Coffee at the Santos Tour Down Under!

The Santos Tour Down Under returns to Adelaide from 16–25 January 2026, marking the thrilling start to the UCI World Tour season. Over ten days, the city will transform into a vibrant cycling festival, with elite men’s and women’s teams competing in a range of stages—from sprints in the city to gruelling climbs in the Adelaide Hills. The event kicks off with a prologue in the heart of Adelaide, taking riders on a 3.6 km loop through city streets and into Victoria Park in front of cheering crowds.

Beyond the racing, the City of Adelaide Tour Village at Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga becomes the festival’s beating heart. Open daily from 11 am, this hub features a lively Bike Expo, Team Zones, family activities, live music, panel talks (the “Talking Tour”), and numerous food and drink stalls. Whether you’re browsing cycling tech, enjoying interactive art, or catching rider interviews, the village offers something for everyone.

This year, Grinders Coffee takes centre stage as the official Coffee Partner. Branded as the Grinders on Tour Café, it opens at the City of Adelaide Tour Village from 6:30 am daily during the event. Whether you’re an early-bird cyclist gearing up for the day’s stage or a fan unwinding after watching the peloton roll through, you can grab your fix just steps from Victoria Square. Look for the dedicated Grinders pop-up café in the main Festival zone—complete with hot and cold brews, snack options, and even special promotions like our signature sip inspired racing coffee.

Above the race itself, the Tour Down Under is a celebration of Adelaide’s summer culture. Wander through the Central Market, enjoy pop-up bars and live concerts, and sample premium local food and wine across suburbs and hills. With a pulsating festival atmosphere, family-friendly zones, and the kick-off to a new cycling season, the Santos Tour Down Under 2026 is poised to deliver action, community, and of course, that perfect coffee from Grinders Coffee.
