When the bill came, I was charged the full amount for a complete wine tasting (which I did not even know existed). After spending almost $200 on food and wine I felt the chintzy and cheap treatment for a few lousy dollars to the charge was an insult. Be very careful when you buy there.

We visited here on our last day in the Clare valley. Initially we were drawn in purely by the name,…read morewe were greeted on entrance by a lovely lady who told us about the winery and its namesake. Considering that it's mainly my partner who is the wine buff, she managed to entice me to try a couple of wines and on the first shot picked my favourite of our whole trip.

The mad bastard running the show is busy flicking between you all, so there's not much chance to learn, I got the vibe he wants you to come have one or two and buy or leave. The wine is a nice drop, and they vary immensely in flavor - reading the descriptions on the back page is a must! The vibe outside is fun. Watch for the signs as you come in.

You move to a table, and order many many dishes (because they are nice) - we had the Jerusalem artichokes, the pate, the jamon and fig, a gorgeously simple green salad, a roasted pig and the bark-wrapped trout, the sweets, the sticky wines... great portions and fantastic dishes (creamy pate with pickled cherries, the artichokes were finger licking good, the jamon and gorgeous figs.. ...enough, you get the point...). Staff were fantastic, and I only wish the wine selection was slightly better balanced. However, our host pointed us to a really really good Mataro. The SA restaurant to beat in 2016 is simply called Seed. Don't ever complain that Clare is too far. This is a pilgrimage that your palate deserves.

The Clare Valley is located about an hours' drive north of the Barossa and a sightly smaller…read moreversion of the latter. It stretches along a roughly 20km drive from Clare to Auburn and is home to more than 40 wineries. It's famous for the Riesling trail and two very famous cellar doors to visit are Annie's Lane and Knappstein. Along the way you can visit historic towns like Burra or Mintaro, which I didn't find that spectacular though. Overall it's a nice, cute and small region but some of the towns were very deserted and on our 3-day trip we sometimes had difficulties finding a place that was open for dinner. If you have the choice between the Barossa and the Clare, head to the former. However, if you've done the Barossa, give it a go and make up your own mind.

On the Sunday afternoon I visited, the store was full of customers but the line moved steadily and staff made sure that everyone was served quickly and efficiently. I was promised by my travelling friends to eat "the best sausage rolls ever" and was a bit disappointed (better than a Villis but not as good as my local bakery) as there didn't seem to be enough meat compared to the thickness of the pastry. The pastry was also a bit ho-hum but the sausage roll was piping hot compared to the lukewarm-ness (is that a word? If not it should be!) that has become common in many a deli. As I was feeling a touch greedy I also had a chocolate doughnut with my sausage roll and iced coffee (FUIC of course), and found it to be delicious and the icing spot on. This little bakery is an icon of sorts and worth a stop if you don't want to eat at the roadhouses but its not quite as cracked up as everyone says. Also, they make you pay 20c for tomato sauce, which never ceases to amaze me. Granted they do it properly and squirt the sauce straight into the pie/sausage roll/pasty, but I hate paying extra for sauce.
