Watervale Lookout
A vineyard panorama over one of Clare's great riesling sub-regions.
The Watervale sub-region produces some of the Clare Valley's most admired rieslings, and a lookout over its vineyards shows why winemakers prize the country. Rows of vines roll across gentle slopes toward the ranges.
The vantage point is an easy detour from the Riesling Trail and a fine place to understand the lay of the land before or after tasting at nearby cellar doors. Morning and late-afternoon light suit the view best.
Watervale's cluster of cellar doors, bakery and hotel sit just below, making it simple to pair the view with a tasting.
