It’s a long way from Clare to Here
It’s a long way from Clare to Here - The Story of Australia's Clare Valley
Wednesday 8th September, 6.45pm - 8.30pm
Entitled It’s a long Way from Clare to here, this evening sets out to tell the story of one of Australia’s most famous wine regions, the Clare Valley in South Australia. Located about 2 hours drive north of Adelaide in South Australia, the valley has a wine making history that goes back to the 1840’s. And with a name like the Clare Valley, the region obviously has strong Irish links. It was named by Edward Gleeson (known as the King of the Clare) who left Sixmilebridge in Co Clare in 1850.
Now home to about 40 small to medium sized wine companies (most family owned), not only is it one of Australia’s prettiest wine regions, but it is also producing some stunning wines. Our evening will give you a chance to taste many of these wines and learn more about Australia’s ‘Irish’ wine region.
Tasty nibbles will also be served on the night.
Leading our tour of the valley we are delighted to have Tim Adams (pictured above), owner and winemaker of Tim Adams Wines. With over 30 years experience growing and making wine in the valley, there is no better man to take us on a tour of his Clare.
