The best wine & cellar doors in Watervale
The Clare Valley is one of Australia's great wine regions and the spiritual home of Riesling. Family-run cellar doors line the valley from Sevenhill to Watervale, pouring crisp, age-worthy whites alongside generous Shiraz, Cabernet and Malbec. Many have poured for generations, and the welcome is famously unhurried.
