Some places deserve more than a quick visit. The Clare Valley is one of them.

Clare is an old wine region off the beaten track. Its average reported grape crush was more than twice that of the Hunter, Mudgee and Orange combined, and nearly 60% greater than the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Rutherglen combined. There's more to explore here than you might expect.

Your Day in the Clare Valley.

I'll collect you from your Clare Valley accommodation for a relaxed day visiting boutique family wineries and some of the better-known names. Between cellar doors we'll travel the back roads and through the old towns that give Clare much of its character. There is time to enjoy the views, hear the stories and stay a little longer when everyone's enjoying themselves. With no more than seven guests, there's no bus and no rush. Whether you've toured wine regions around the world or this is your first wine tour, you don't need to arrive knowing the difference between grape varieties. Knowing what you enjoy is enough.

Your Local Guide.

I'm Charles, and I'll be your guide for the day. I know these roads, the cellar doors and many of the people behind them. I'll help you get to know Clare beyond what's poured into the glass. If you're staying a little longer, I'll happily share ideas for places to visit during the rest of your holiday. A day touring together often gives me a good idea of what you might enjoy.

A Day to Remember.

Your day includes wine tastings and a generous charcuterie lunch at one of the wineries along the way. All scheduled tasting fees, lunch, pickup and return are included. By the time I return you to your accommodation, I hope Clare feels a little less like somewhere you've visited and a little more like somewhere you've come to know.

Finish the wine. Keep the memories.
Staying in the Barossa? I can collect you from there too.
