Had a 3 night stay in Bed in a Shed BnB. Fantastic place, great hosts Andrew and Carolyn makes you feel at home and nothing was too much trouble for them. Full breakfast provisions were excellent and great coffee pods and teas. Breakfast had lots of variety and didn’t want for anything. Microwave, toaster, coffee pod machine included. Only other item would have like would have been a electrical frypan and saucepan to boil water or pasta if cooking in as outside bbq one night didn’t work too well because of the cold and windy conditions, but if not into making your own dinner there are plenty of restaurants nearby. Bed was comfortable and great outdoor verandah over looking the vineyards. Loved the interaction with the hosts animals, goat, sheep, dog. Good outdoor bbq area, great shower and loved all the decorations within. Andrew has doesn’t a fantastic job in constructing the place with all the recycled materials. Location close to numerous wineries and attractions in the area. Riesling Trail about a km from the accommodation and great track to ride a push bike along. Right next door is Bed in a Shed Too, which may not suit all having adjoining neighbours so close but didn’t both us. Overall would definitely recommend a stay at this property.
4. Mount Horrocks Wines

5.0 based on 13 reviews
Mount Horrocks Wines restricts production to approximately 3,500 cases per annum to achieve the highest quality single vineyard wines. All three estate-owned Clare Valley vineyards, are 100% certified Australian Organic and vegan and vegetarian friendly. Stephanie carefully crafts "essentially hand-made food wines with emphasis on structure as well as generous fruit flavours". Only estate grown grapes are used and these are hand-picked and gently handled under conditions that ensure the varietal and site-specific flavours in the resultant wine, as well as its organic status, are retained. As no finings have been found necessary the wines are all suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Only the finest French oak barriques are used for those wines spending time in barrel. The seven wines produced each year are: Mount Horrocks Riesling, Semillon, Rose, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d'Avola and Cordon Cut Riesling.

Sussex Squire Wines is a small Clare Valley producer with a 5 star Halliday Winery Rating. We only sell through cellar door and have no retail distribution as we focus mainly on small production of Dry Grown RED WINES with our selection of one white and 10 reds. The line up of wines include the tasting of our premium award winning Shiraz from our Dry Grown vineyard that we manage with organic principles under vine. I produce other single vineyard wines from other varieties that showcase the Clare Valley including Malbec, Mataro, Sangiovese, Grenache & Riesling. Visit our cellar door to taste our selection of wines while chatting to the winemaker and owners Mark and Skye with Milo the Jack Russell winery dog. There is a $10pp tasting fee, fully redeemable on purchase. Please CALL ahead if your group is FOUR or more to book a spot. Due to Covid -19 restrictions we CAN NOT cater for single groups over 10 people in cellar door.

This husband and wife team (Mark & Skye), are united in delivering a quality tourism experience with the most exquisite wines (but don’t take my word for it, James Halliday has gold-starred a number of their wines.) We felt very welcomed here and enjoyed the time given to tell us their story and learn of their small batch wines. A production of love produces wines I will be proud as a South Australian to share with my wino friends interstate.

Rocked in here at the end of a hot day riding the Riesling Trail wine tasting. Had never heard of this winery prior to visiting. The tasting room was perfectly airconditioned and the bloke who served us there was awesome. Wines were very nice. Highly recommend dropping in here if in the region.
