| Clare |
| In
the beautiful northern Mt Lofty Ranges, Clare nestles among wooded hills
and orderly vineyards. Its earliest settlers were Irish, and it's one of
the few South Australian districts where an Irish influence can be
detected in the lifestyle and culture. |

|
| Clare
is the centre of a prosperous pastoral community and an important wine
industry. The Clare Valley's slopes and valley floors provide a cooler
climate for later maturation than in the Barossa Valley, and the
district's wines have a reputation for quality and character. It's one of
the most picturesque wine producing areas in Australia.
