There’s something about the Clare Valley in autumn that feels like magic. Crisp mornings, golden vineyards, and a rhythm of life that invites you to slow down and savour every moment. And during Clare Valley Gourmet Week 2025, that magic was on full display.
As visitors wandered between cellar doors, sipped riesling in the sun, and indulged in locally inspired long lunches, one thing became clear—this region isn’t just about wine and food. It’s about a way of living that blends community, creativity, and opportunity.
Gourmet Week, Local Life
Now in its 40th year, Clare Valley Gourmet Week has grown into one of South Australia’s most anticipated food and wine events. It’s where local winemakers pour their best, chefs showcase the region’s produce, and live music drifts over rolling hills. But what truly sets it apart is the welcoming spirit of the people who call the Clare Valley home.
Beyond the plates and pours lies a vibrant region on the rise—growing not just in acclaim, but in opportunity.
