Clare Valley Perhaps the most scenic wine region of them all, with rolling hills, cosy valleys and breathtaking views to drink in. The Clare Valley was first settled by English, Irish and Polish immigrants in the 1840s and wine production began soon afterwards in 1851. The heritage of this era is very well preserved, with 19th century stone buildings and churches dotting the landscape. The main towns of the wine area include Auburn, Leasingham, Watervale, Penwortham, Sevenhill and Clare itself. The region was the pioneer of wine tourism as we know it today, being the first to introduce outdoor cultural concerts and wine tasting tours.
