Clare
The heart of the Clare Valley, where the historic stone main street, restaurants and visitor centre make it the base for exploring the valley.
The largest town in the Clare Valley, Clare was founded in the 1840s and named after County Clare in Ireland. Its main street features old banks, hotels and stone shopfronts, and most of the valley's restaurants, bakeries and accommodation are concentrated here. At the southern end, the Clare Valley Wine, Food & Tourism Centre provides maps, winery information and bike hire details. The northern section of the Riesling Trail also passes through town. It is an ideal place to stay, about two hours' drive from Adelaide.
