Three additional wineries have been granted a share of almost $122,000 in the state government’s Cellar Door program after additional funds were added to the scheme to boost SA visitor numbers to wine regions.
Clare Valley wineries Eldredge Vineyards, Hill River Clare Estate and Jeanneret Wines have been added to the list of recipients who applied for state government support in upgrading their cellar doors.
Agriculture, Food and Fisheries Minister Leon Bignell said the extra support offered in the program would encourage even more creativity in the industry and allow the Clare Valley to shine on the world’s stage.
Eldredge Vineyard owner Leigh Eldredge said the grant money would “make it all possible now” in terms of the upgrades they had hoped to do for a while.
Jeanneret Wines owners Adrian Henshall and Ben Jeanneret said the grant money was an incentive for wineries to be innovative.
“Clare is a frontier but you need the infrastructure to bring them (visitors) up here,” Mr Henshall said.

With a degree in Journalism from the University of South Australia, a Certificate IV in Film and Television from the Adelaide College of the Arts, and a Diploma of the Arts from SAIBT, I think I have well and truly established the fact I like to learn new things. I have a passion for technology, and the way it enhances storytelling. With this said, I vlog, blog, I write, and I embrace every new app, or otherwise tech-creation which hits the globe. You can literally find me everywhere online. My birth marks me as a South Australian - actually, incase it means something different, I'm from the northern suburbs of Adelaide. I love exploring all things adventure and outdoors, but at the same time I have a passion for gaming and movies. Basically, 'About Me' is I love everything.
