Now entering its fourth decade, the festival offers a four- day, region wide program across cellar doors, wineries and venues throughout the Clare.
With more than 45 events planned, it provides an opportunity for wine and food lovers to discover the region through gourmet experiences.
Highlights will include long lunches, tastings, live music and hosted experiences, all in a region that is quintessentially Australian but less than two hours from Adelaide.
“Autumn is when the Clare Valley really comes into its own,” says Cherry Stowman, executive officer for the Clare Valley Wine & Grape Association.
“The leaves in the vineyards are turning golden, the days are clear and mild, and there’s a genuine sense of excitement across the region.
"The Gourmet Festival is an invitation to experience the region, not just through food and wine, but also the beautiful people and landscapes that define the Clare Valley."
Rather than centring on a single venue, the festival unfolds across the villages and vineyards of the Clare Valley, allowing visitors to engage with multiple producers and settings.
One popular way to experience the event is through the Gourmet Bus Trails, an itinerary designed for a stress-free day of indulgence. This hosted journey includes visits to three Clare Valley wineries with priority queue-jumper privileges.
For those feeling entitled, a limited VIP upgrade provides an additional intimate winery experiences.
Guests can also opt for a convenient Adelaide transfer, leaving the car behind and enjoying a scenic 90-minute bus ride.
A word of warning. Accommodation and popular events are expected to be sold out. Book early and check out program details at www.clarevalleygourmet.com.au
