Clare Valley Tours
About the
CLARE VALLEY
Nick Ryan, Brian Croser AO, Andrew Mitchell, Jeffrey Grosset, and Rob Geddes MW are just a few Australian wine industry legends who have roots in the Clare Valley.
So stay for a few days, unwind, and book a tour with us to properly experience the region.
Some Recent Questions we have Answered:
Q* Can we visit Annie's Lane Winery?
A* Sort of. It was sold in 2017, so 'Annie's Lane' is now just a brand, nothing to do with the Clare Valley. I can show you the place, discuss 1853 and Spring Vale Winery, then 1890 Quelltaler, then Wolf Blass in 1987...
Q* Is the Clare Valley a small wine region?
A* No. The Clare Valley is an old wine growing area, and Wine Australia estimates that there are more grapevines planted here than a combined count of vines in the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsular, and Tasmania. However it appears small, and the lack of corporate wineries adds to it's authentic nature.
Q* Is Lake Bumbunga in the Clare Valley?
A* No. The Mid North region is large and includes the Clare Valley, not the other way around. The 'Clare Valley' is a wine growing region which is within the 'Mid-North' of South Australia. Lake Bumbunga - "the Pink Lake", is a dry salt-lake, located in the Mid-North nearly 50km West from the Clare Valley.
Q* Can you take us on a day-trip to the Barossa Valley from the Clare Valley?
A* Yes. Find your Clare Valley accommodation and book 3x nights. It's like being on a cruise ship where the next day is a different place for you to explore. You won't be the first guests who have booked a Clare Tour and a Barossa Tour for the following day.
Q* Do you know the Polish Silesian and Prussian History sites?
A* Yes, and I have managed to gain private access to museums and religious sites on short notice for Polish tourists and heritage-chasers. If you are interested in tracing your family history, visit the Clare Valley.
Together we will have some fun as we travel around some of South Australia's boutique wine country.
Let's make those memories!
You want to plan for two or three nights on your Clare Valley trip. One - to recover from your journey, Two - to spend your day with me on your Valley Wine Tour, and Three - to have a spare day for bike riding or going to the Barossa for the day on another of our tours. Where can you stay? Try these links to places we often collect passengers from; Mulberry Cottage, Battunga Cottages, Neagles Retreat Villas, The Mill Apartments, St Helen's Cottages, the Riesling Trail and Clare Valley Cottages, the Clare Country Club, Sevenhill Cottages, O'Briens of Clare, or the Clare Valley Motel. For Caravanners there are a few options too; families love the Discovery Park near Clare, while a central location is the Clare Valley Caravan Park in Leasingham, and there is a Community Caravan Park in Auburn. Burra is a wonderful historical location, and the Burra Caravan Park (incorporating the historical Paxton Square Cottages) is very popular. We collect tour passengers from all the caravan parks. There are more accommodation options, so if you have 'forever' to search, try the local Tourism Information Website.
