Clare Valley
Planning a trip
Only a 90 minute drive from Adelaide, finding your way to the Clare Valley couldn't be easier. But as we've heard from visitors so many times before, leaving can often prove difficult. It is a charming corner of Australia. Around every corner it seems, is another lovely vista - rolling hills, winding streams and tiny villages, each sprinkled with reminders of the region's 160 year history. There are countless markets, delightful restaurants and quaint little pubs to explore - and of course, more than 40 wineries boasting some of Australia's finest wines.
