Welcome to Riesling Country

Wonderful wineries, fine local produce, historic towns and views for miles… visit the Clare Valley and fall in love with one of Australia’s oldest wine regions.

Clare Valley Wine Region

Just one and a half hours’ drive north of Adelaide, nestled high in South Australia’s Mount Lofty Ranges, is the charming Clare Valley wine region.

The traditional land of the Ngadjuri people, Clare’s winemaking history started back in the mid-1800s with Jesuit settlers who planted the first vines in the region. Today, Clare Valley is home to more than thirty wineries, many of them family owned just like Pauletts.

The region is filled with historic towns and landmarks that punctuate the diverse cultural heritage. Be sure to explore the incredible mining history of Burra, relish the grandeur of Martindale Hall and take the time to get lost in the Mintaro Maze.

Polish Hill River

Our own slice of heaven, the Polish Hill River region is the home of Pauletts. Named after the Polish settlers who moved here in the mid-1800s, the area is blessed with the perfect climate for growing premium grapes.

The minerality and natural acidity of the soil, combined with good winter rains, hot summer days tempered by cool nights and a long ripening period, consistently produce grapes of exceptional flavours and balance.

World famous for fresh and flinty Riesling, the Polish Hill River region also produces an exceptional range of white wines, quality sparkling wine and smooth, classic reds.

  • Local Produce

  • Natural Wonders

The Clare Valley wine region is home to wonderful local produce. As a community, we’re fiercely proud of the food our region produces, from self-labelled jams, chutneys and home-grown honey, through to fine olive oil, ethically farmed meats and craft beers.

Our local pubs and restaurants, including our very own Bush deVine Winery Restaurant, love to showcase our regional specialties on their menus. And there’s nothing better than a picnic basket stocked with fresh and delicious treats direct from one of the many farm gate stores.

Whatever you fancy, you’re guaranteed a good feed when you visit Clare.

Walk with the dinosaurs, meander among the gum trees, picnic amongst the wildflowers or pose for the Gram by a bubblegum pink lake. We’re not making this stuff up – the natural wonders of Clare Valley are like none you’ve ever seen before. Just down the road from Pauletts you’ll find the Spring Gully Conservation Park where you can take in the views from Blue Gum Lookout, enjoy the walking trails and visit the seasonal waterfall. Be sure to keep a look out for the locals: brushtail possums, grey kangaroos and short-beaked echidnas. Further afield, Lake Bumbunga near the town of Lochiel is a favourite for photographers as its colour changes from pink, to white, to blue, depending on the salinity of the water throughout the year.
