A little under two hours comfortable driving from Adelaide will bring you to the historic settlements of the Clare Valley. Wine writer James Halliday likens this South Australian region to Tuscany; exquisite heritage towns, stylish cellar doors and numerous, delightful accommodation options.
The first major settlers to colonize Australia had their priorities straight, and decided to live where they could actually grow vines in their backyards. Or at least the combination of English, Polish, and Irish settlers of Australia's Clare Valley did. The oldest vines in the region date back to the 1840s, though the oldest actively farmed vines are now from the late 1800s. |
