Yes, there’s riesling. And it’s sublime – on par with any global counterpart. But the Clare Valley also has a charm that somehow slows time and brings life’s pleasures back into focus. More than 50 cellar doors are found along a 40-kilometre corridor between the towns of Auburn and Clare, while the region’s Riesling Trail invites visitors to explore by bike. Wander the Mintaro Maze or explore heritage mansion Martindale Hall.
You’ll eat very well here, whether at pioneering local wineries or restaurants celebrating local fare in deft new ways. Pack a picnic to enjoy while overlooking the valley – and be sure to visit the stunning pink Lake Bumbunga during your travels.
