THIS year's vintage is barely in the barrel but Carolyne Jasinski is on her bike for a cellar door tour of the Clare Valley Riesling Trail.

Interesting to see some history of the Clare Valley area!

Quote:
A walking tour with Brother John May puts the history of Sevenhill and the Clare Valley in perspective.

Sevenhill is the oldest of more than 40 wineries in the valley. Jesuit priests settled here in 1848 and began producing sacramental wine.

Now the winery has more than 70ha of vines and produces red, white, fortified and altar wine for Australian and overseas markets.
