The Clare Valley is an enchanting place, we have spent our time weaving our way through the tapestry of trails and have discovered so many special places tucked around every bend… characters, places, cellar doors and artisans all unique in their own way. We usually visit the Barossa, but I think we like the Clare Valley a bit more.
We booked in for 2 days, and have stayed for 4 so far!!! Loved the caravan park here set amongst stunning gum trees and green grass. Every night we meet fellow campers around the huge campfire for “Happy Hour”. Any excuse.
Have visited some great wineries including Tim Adams Wines, Pikes Wines, Annie Lane and the very old and beautiful Sevenhill Cellars. Yesterday we had a great lunch of tapas at Mr Micks Cellar and Kitchen. We enjoyed it so much we are going back today with friends we are camping with, Kerrie and Graham (Micky) Scholz from Henty. (one of my old home towns)

Salem would love the resident cat at Sevenhill CellarsThe church at Sevenhill Cellars…Sevenhill is the oldest winery in the Clare Valley. Wine production began in 1851 after Jesuit priests fled to escape religious and political persecution in Silesia. The historic cellars are still run by Jesuit priests and brothers.churros at Mr Micks Tapas….yum….I felt like a Japanese taking photos of food!!!
