Clare

A pretty country town at the centre of one of South Australia's premier wine regions, Clare offers fine dining, panoramic views and secluded accommodation.

Just north of the town is one of South Australia's finest country racecourses, along with a cluster of wineries: Scarlatties Gallery, Mt Surmon, Cardinham and Phoenix Estate. Wineries in and around Clare include Leasingham (housed in the old Jam Factory), the much-lauded Tim Adams and Knappstein (in the old Enterprise Brewery). Clare is also at the northern end of the Riesling Trail. Bike hire is available from Clare Valley Cycle Hire.

Choose from a gourmet food and wine experience, to traditional pub grub. Enjoy the view from Salt 'n' Vines Bar and Bistro, or chic dining across the road at Coffee & Cork. A relaxed vineyard atmosphere is to be had at one of Clare's most acclaimed restaurants, Neagles Rock. Citadel 5453 is in the heart of town; the historic building overlooks the Hutt River.

There are three pubs in town, all within a couple of minutes walk of each other. For nightlife, the Bentleys Hotel at the southern end of the main street features live bands at weekends.

For those with a sporting interest there's the highly rated Clare Golf Course, as well as lawn tennis courts and bowling greens. Spare the time to browse through a number of specialty shops and be sure to look out for local handicrafts and produce.

Pour ceux que le golf, le tennis ou le bowl n'attirent pas plus que cela comme sport, il reste le Valleys Lifestyle Centre :

Comme vous l'avez remarqué, il existe 3 terrains de squash dans cette petite ville d'un peu plus de quatre mille habitants et c'est là que la communauté viticole locale , aidée par le South Australian Government, a organisé l' Australian Open que David Palmer n'avait pas encore gagné avant cette année.

... the South Australian Government had given organisers some funding for local promotional activity, while the Clare and Gilbert Valley Shire Council had also given the tournament the use of the Valleys Lifestyle Centre as a venue, as well as a substantial cash grant.
But he said the most lasting benefit was the upsurge of interest in squash in Clare, which experienced a surge after last year’s tournament and which now has 49 juniors in its program.
