Riesling Country, Historic Cellar Doors & Boutique Wine Discoveries

Discover one of South Australia’s most charming wine regions on this private Clare Valley Explorer tour. Known for its elegant Rieslings, rolling vineyard landscapes, and rich pastoral heritage, the Clare Valley offers a relaxed yet refined day of wine, food, and scenery—just under two hours from Adelaide.

Winemaking in the Clare Valley dates back more than 160 years, and today the region is home to over 35 cellar doors scattered across picturesque valleys and historic townships. While best known for its world-class Riesling, the region also produces exceptional Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a diverse range of varietals including Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Semillon, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Tempranillo, and Malbec.

Your day begins with a scenic journey through South Australia’s Mid North before arriving at the award-winning Taylors Wines. Here, enjoy a hosted tasting of their flagship wines, showcasing the precision, balance, and elegance that have made Clare Valley wines internationally recognised.

Continue to Claymore Wines, a boutique cellar door where creative, music-inspired labels reflect a bold and expressive winemaking style. Enjoy a relaxed tasting experience featuring small-batch wines with distinctive character and regional personality.

Lunch is served at Mr Mick’s, where a seasonal selection of contemporary share plates is paired with wines from their acclaimed cellar. This relaxed dining experience highlights the best of local produce in a warm and welcoming setting.

In the afternoon, visit Sevenhill Cellars, the oldest winery in the Clare Valley, founded by Jesuit priests in 1851. Explore the historic cellars and the nearby St Aloysius Church before enjoying a final tasting of wines shaped by generations of tradition and craftsmanship.

This thoughtfully curated private journey blends heritage, boutique winemaking, and scenic countryside into a truly memorable Clare Valley experience.
