Throughout the year, the Clare Valley stages a number of great events, from classic country shows and friendly race meets to gourmet food and wine extravaganzas. 

The Clare Valley Gourmet Weekend is held every year in May, attracting thousands of visitors to the region. Many of the local wineries feature popular events throughout the year, plus the Clare Valley Racecourse hosts three annual race meets in the picturesque vineyards, including the Easter Saturday Clare Races.

Whatever the reason, there’s never an excuse to miss an event in the Clare Valley.
