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.

Established by the Jesuits in 1851, Sevenhill Cellars is the oldest winery in South Australia's Clare Valley and the only Jesuit-owned winery in Australia. Originally established to produce altar wine, Sevenhill is now recognised for its premium table wines, which express the Clare Valley's distinctive varietal characteristics. The historic winery and cellar door, St Aloysius' Church, the College building, surrounding vineyards and spiritual sites give visitors an opportunity to combine appreciation of exceptional wines with an understanding of Sevenhill's religious and historic significance. You can discover this rich heritage by following our walking trail using a self-guided map, which are available at Cellar Door.
Really enjoyed the Sevenhill wine and hospitality! Beautiful grounds and an interesting history to be found at this winery, which is also a stop along the Reisling Trail.

One of the stalwarts of the Clare Valley, established by Jane and Andrew Mitchell in 1975, producing long-lived rieslings and cabernet sauvignons in classic regional style. The range now includes very creditable semillon, grenache and shiraz. A lovely old stone apple shed is the cellar door and upper section of the upgraded winery. Children Angus and Edwina are now working in the business, heralding generational changes. Over the years the Mitchells have established or acquired 75ha of vineyards on four excellent sites, some vines over 60 years old; all are managed organically, with biodynamic composts used for over a decade. Exports to the UK, the US, Canada, Denmark, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and NZ.
Beautiful outdoor seated area, great wine selection, loved the dessert wine . Friendly staff that were welcoming . A must visit when in Clare!

Crabtree Watervale Wines produce small parcels of award winning handcrafted wines by people who love what they do. Visit our cellar door open seven days. Crabtree is a boutique estate winery, with the annual crush around one hundred tonnes. The tiny winery is at full capacity every vintage, and the wines very limited in production.
With so many vineyards to choose from in the Clare Valley we were happy to accept the recommendation from a local in Burra to visit Crabtree Watervale Wines cellar door just a short walk up the hill from the other gem in Watervale, the Watervale General Store. Crabtree Watervale cellar door has a small and cosy air-conditioned indoor room and an outdoor covered terrace, both with gorgeous views over the vineyards and surrounding countryside. On the afternoon of our visit Petrie gave us a great cellar door experience with fun conversations to accompany our wine tasting, she was knowledgable about the vineyard and its wines and most friendly. Again many thanks Petrie for a delicious and relaxing experience. Highly recommend.

We tasted a large selection of terrific wines while learning about the topography and terroir of the valley.In these Covid19 days, we were in a private room. The tasting lasted about 1.5 hours and of course we purchased plenty. A magnificent tasting and I would highly recommend this to any liker of wine.

I called ahead, because I was travelling with my two dogs. I was allowed to walk through the indoor area to the deck, where I had a lovely coffee. I liked it so much, we all went back the next (hot) day. Not only were the ladies welcoming, they went above and beyond: offering a bowl of water for my dogs. For me, when in Clare...drink Riesling. I highly recommend this place and gratefully thank the staff for being such gracious hosts.
