About Clare

Home to over 50 cellar doors and wineries between the towns of Auburn and Clare, Clare Valley is nestled in the Mid North of South Australia and just a short 90 minute drive from the heart of Adelaide. Five-star wineries are scattered along a stunning 40 kilometre corridor, boasting some of the world’s best Riesling – our town’s signature wine – and a winemaking history dating back over 160 years. Along with our boutique wineries, discover trails, museums, galleries, scenery and heritage towns.
