Wine & Food
Clare Valley is a place where 'wine and food' means people. It's a region with a warm rustic flavour - and a world-beating wine-list.
Writer James Halliday compares it to Tuscany (he says it makes him feel he 'belongs somehow') and wine experts regularly make the pilgrimage after vintage in March or April. But you don't need to be a connoisseur to appreciate the wine-lands. Here's where you can cycle an idyllic 25 kilometre through vineyards on the Riesling Trail, watch master vignerons at work in 150-year old cellars and enjoy festivals among the vines, entranced by everyone from master chefs to Oberon to Missy Higgins.
There's a surprising range of foods that have been grown, farmed or produced in the region, from free-range chickens to chutney, carob to cod, saltbush hogget to organic lamb. You'll see it available in shops, cellar doors, farm outlets, cafes and restaurants. Download a copy of the Clare Valley Cellar Door Outlets and Other Attractions [PDF 2.5mb].
So grab a picnic blanket, a full basket of goodies and a bottle or two of your favourite drop and enjoy the view...
