What are the attractions of Clare Valley?
1. Riesling Trail
Best way to explore Clare Valley I would say. You can rent a bicycle and take a ride at the Riesling Trail. Riesling Trail runs for 36 kilometres between Auburn and Clare and passes through all the major towns of the Clare Valley including Leasingham, Watervale, Penwortham, and Sevenhill. In each of the town, there are wineries and you may stop by to visit. It is a 35km track, suitable for beginners to medium level fitness fanatics.
2. Sevenhill Producers Market
The market is held on the last Saturday of every month from 8.30am to 12.00pm at Madonna Hall in Sevenhill. It does not open daily. At such, should you be interested in visiting the market, do plan your itinerary carefully. The market sells fresh fruit and vegetables, capers, honey, preserves, olive oil, olives, dukkah, fresh bread and pastries, dried fruit, nuts and fresh flowers. Outside the hall, the local fishmonger from Grandax Seafood offers fresh fish, prawns and oysters!!
3. Winery
Winery visit is a must in Clare Valley. Popular winery includes Mount Horrocks Wines, Sevenhill Wines, Annie's Lane, Crabtree Wines etc.
Recommended Accommodation:
We stayed a night at Clare Valley Motel during our trip. Clare Valley Motel is located a few minutes from the centre of Clare in the heart of the Clare Valley. Convenience to settle our meals as the centre have all that we need.
The motel is clean and neat. We are able to park our car just outside the unit. The only cons is that the wifi connection is really bad. Most of the time we are unable to connect to the wifi. But that is least of our concern as holiday is not meant to surf net. It is meant to relax and enjoy the surrounding.
