Heading up for the day this Friday, probably looking for a good spot to have lunch and check out some wineries/brewery.

Was going to stay the night, but now going to head to Pt Hughes for the free bed up there.

Pikes Brewery.

Skillogalee is a nice spot for lunch.

I second that.

Stop in at Jim Barry's and grab a bottle of Cover Drive Cab Sav while you're at it.

At least they sell it at Dan's nowadays, used to only be able to get it at the Cellar Door.

A gourmet BBQ at whufcs is what you really need!

If you have never seen Mintaro it is worth a small visit there and isnt to far out of your way.

Also O'Leary Walkers is amazing but is 20 minutes before Clare.

Their lunch platters are the best in the business and the view is stunning.

Yep we go there each year at Easter time.
Not cheap but well worth it for the views.
Food is great too.

Awesome thanks, will look all of these up.

Wedding anniversary and taking advantage of the employer giving me a day off to spend time in fire impacted area's. I know Clare wasn't affected but going to do breakfast in Lobethal on the way up and finish on the YP.

Did a B&B in Mintaro quite a few years back, do remember the pub quite well!

Hoping to drop through Robertstown on the way up also, lived there for 18 months as a 5yo.

That's some quality work by your employer. Well played.

Nice mate. I hope you enjoy this beautiful part of the state.

If your a pub man the only pub worth visiting is Sevenhill, amazing meals and the cellar room is imo the most beautiful in the state...big call.

The rest of the pubs dont offer anything you cant get at your local, definitely stick to the wineries and breweries.

Let me know how you go, always interested to hear visitors thoughts.

I found the Sevenhill Winery Cellar was the most disappointing one we went to, for the picturesque interior and exterior the staff were less than welcoming and their wine tasting samples were barely enough to get a taste.

The Little Red Grape, Skillogalee and Mitchell Wines were the better ones IMO.

Sorry im talking about the Cellar Dining Room at the Sevenhill Hotel not the cellar at the Sevenhill Winery

I have Auburn and Sevenhill on par as the best 2 pubs in the Valley.
They are a step above the others for food quality.
If you are just there for lunch pick between those 2 or Indii in the main street.
Oleary walker and sevenhill cellars would be my choices for wineries to call into.

I havent eaten at the Auburn pub yet.

I hear really good things about the Watervale Hotel but haven't been there yet either plus they are doing reno's at the moment.

Ok. I've never been to the Sevenhill Winery to be honest. Might give it a miss for a bit longer yet.

MC, just endorsed it, we only went once and might have just copped someone having a bad day.

It was a beautiful place inside and out though.

I too am yet to eat at watervale.
The 3 I mentioned I have always loved, been to all 3 this year already. Never disappointed.
Might even have take away indii this week as we are staying in the caravan park with a couple of other families.
Other place I have been told to try and will look to in the next month is the Italian place Umbria.
Have been told they are doing well and expanding
