Top 5 things to do in Clare Valley during winter

Clare Valley in South Australia is very picturesque, interspersed with lush green fields, rolling hills and rustic homesteads. Renowned as one of Australia's premiere wine growing regions, it is well worth a visit if you're travelling to South Australia. While temperatures do cool down over winter, there are still a multitude of things you can do if you choose to stay in Clare Valley. To help you plan a winter adventure to this region, we've revealed our top 5 things to do below:

Stay in a bed and breakfast

There are so many charming bed and breakfasts in Clare Valley that we believe it's essential to stay at least a night in one of these. To top it off, make sure to sit by a cosy wood fire sipping on a glass of red sourced from this wonderful region.

Visit a local art gallery

With so many amazing art galleries situated in this region, such as Irongate Studio, VineArt Studio or the Clare Valley Art Gallery, it's well worth taking a detour to at least visit one of these.

Drop into a local pub

To really experience the culture of this region, drop into a local pub for a refreshing ale. We recommend the Sevenhill Hotel as it's the friendliest pub you'll find in the Mid North.

Have lunch at a cellar door

You can't leave Clare Valley without having a long and leisurely lunch at one of the cellar doors, while sampling some of the premium wines grown there. Some popular alternatives are Paullett's Bush De Vine Cafe or Reilly's.

Try a locally brewed craft beer

If you prefer beer over wine then you are going to love sampling some of the internationally recognised craft beers produced in the Clare Valley. We suggest heading to Knappstein Winery and Enterprise in Clare to try a flight of their craft beer.

These are just some of the many things you can do in the Clare Valley to chase away the winter blues. If you need your car serviced in South Australia, see our friendly team at Wise Auto.
