Highly recommend the Clare Valley walk with Tim & Bianca. The hikes were great & clearly a lot of thought has gone into the schedule. Some lovely long lunches & delicious wines to try. A really great 5 days.

10/10 for an expertly curated and organised 5-day experience hosted by a warm and wonderful team - Tim and Bianca. As a group of four from Melbourne, we found it all worked perfectly - the lodge, the planning for the walks, the balance between wine tastings, walking, dining out for lunch and dining in for dinners, and the overall professional but personal approach of our hosts. Each day was structured to work for the given weather conditions, the walking route, and the accommodation of varied wine tastings and dining experiences. This is perfect for people who love a relaxing break that provides a mix of fairly gentle outdoors activity, good food and wine in a beautiful setting. We walked in October and the weather conditions during the days varied fairly wildly from hot (around 29 celcius) to cold (around 8 celcius) - Tim and Bianca organised our days to fit the conditions, and there was always the great option to take a day off walking and stay at the lodge. While the trail is a little hilly, this is not difficult walking and should be easily managed for anyone who is moderately fit and mobile.

We are a group of older women who loved our amazing long weekend Clare Valley walk. We extended to 3 nights & enjoyed 2 beautiful walks through the peaceful & scenic Clare Valley. The walks were really enjoyable, long enough to work up a hearty appetite to enjoy the amazing meals supplied by local restaurants, the food was top quality. Our accommodation was luxurious & comfortable. Thank you Tim & Bianca for organising all of this for us, we appreciated your driving us around & the amazing itinerary. It surpassed our expectations.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – Clare Valley Walking Tour Absolutely loved this experience! The scenery was stunning — rolling vineyards, peaceful trails, and that relaxed Clare Valley charm everywhere you looked. The walk was perfectly paced and thoughtfully organised, with beautiful accommodation, great food, and seamless communication from start to finish. Huge thanks to Bianca and Tim for making it all so enjoyable — their attention to detail, warmth, and local knowledge made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for the best way to explore the Clare Valley! 🍷🥾🌿

A fantastic 3 days of walking, laughs, gorgeous scenery, brilliant food and of course, wine! Tim and Bianca run a friendly, relaxed walking holiday, both are very knowledgeable about the Clare Valley and wine industry in general. Accommodation in the stunning lodge was very comfortable. A really enjoyable few days, I'd go again!
