Clare Valley
Clare Valley Riesling Trail
Australia's Riesling heartland, where cellar doors are set among heritage stone cottages and the cycling trail between them is as good as the wine at the end of it.
Sevenhill Cellars
111C College Rd, Sevenhill SA 5453, Australia
Mon–Sun 10am–5pm
The Clare Valley's first winery, built by Jesuit brothers in 1851, remains estate-operated and pouring at Sevenhill. The cellar door carries the weight of that history without being precious about it — stone walls, old ground, wines grown on the same land the brothers originally cleared. A genuinely rare thing: continuity with something to show for it.
