Clare is a picturesque town located in the Clare Valley. Initially we weren't heading this way but l was very pleased we changed our minds. The thing to do in the Clare Valley is to visit the many wineries! The Clare Valley region is renowned for its Riesling. I'm not a huge fan of Riesling so we chose to visit Annie's Lane, as l enjoy their Chardonnay. The lady at Annie's Lane was so welcoming and friendly. She let the kids collect and eat the fresh pine nuts off their tree! She was a wealth of information about the town of Clare, and even told us that we must try the local butchers sausages, as he has won many awards for them. She was absolutely correct the sausages were amazing and l don't even like sausages!
We also visited the Sevenhills Winery which had an interesting history. It is run and owned by the Jesuits and the winery is the biggest producers of alter wine. On the grounds of the winery was a church which had a crypt under it, and the cemetery was next door!
Knappstein Brewery was definitely our favourite. Stuart and l enjoyed their beer and wine, so it turned out to be an expensive visit!
