The Riesling Trail…Tim Adams Winery

Another beautiful but somewhat cloudy day in the Clare Valley. Today we stocked up on fresh provisions and later did a cellar door tasting at the Tim Adams Winery – beautiful Riesling, Pinot Gris and Shiraz.

The Clare Valley…The Start of the Riesling Trail

Today we arrived at the beautiful town of Clare in the Clare Valley, well known for its Rieslings. We ventured to the Seven Hills Winery established by Jesuit monks – set on impressive grounds with historic building and of course delicious wines.
