The Narrative

The Clare Valley Walk offers something genuinely different in Australian wine touring: walking-based experiences through one of South Australia's most beautiful and historically significant wine regions. Based at 9 Alexander Avenue in Clare, the operation takes guests through Clare Valley wine country on foot — along the Riesling Trail and through the landscapes that frame the region's celebrated vineyards, with cellar door access integrated into the pace of a walk rather than a van schedule.

The Riesling Trail is one of Australia's most famous wine-country paths — a 32-kilometre converted rail trail running between Auburn and Clare through the heart of the valley. Lined with wineries, passing through historic towns, and framed by the elevated hills of the Southern Flinders Ranges, it is the original blueprint for what walking and wine touring can be when the landscape is genuinely worth the attention it demands. The Clare Valley Walk builds itineraries around this trail and other walking routes through the region, pairing the physical experience of moving through the landscape with the intellectual experience of understanding what grows in it.

With 50 reviews averaging 4.9 stars, The Clare Valley Walk has established a strong reputation for the quality and originality of the walking wine experience it delivers. For guests who want to engage with the Clare Valley at the pace of a walk rather than the pace of a day tour, this is the operator that makes it possible.

Clare Valley Riesling — lime, slate, precision, and a capacity to age over decades — is best understood as a product of this specific landscape. Walking through it, rather than past it, changes the quality of that understanding.
