If you’re looking for a hotel in Leasingham, these activities and themes offer a practical guide to choosing your destination.

Walks and bike rides on the Riesling Trail

The Riesling Trail runs through Leasingham and is suitable for walkers and cyclists of all ages and experience levels. Its high-quality paved surface makes it safe and comfortable to use. The trail is therefore a clear point of reference if you’d like to include some exercise in your stay.

Walking and cycling are different ways to use the trail, and both are explicitly mentioned options. The information about age and experience provides a broad indication of who can use it, while the paved surface describes another specific feature of the trail. This makes it possible to consider Leasingham as a destination for an active stay, too.

Views, tastings and seasonal cuisine

The O’Leary Walker Wines cellar door in Leasingham offers views of the Clare Valley. Visitors can enjoy them from the glass-enclosed tasting room or the outdoor lawns. Here, the setting combines views of the valley with two different spaces to spend time in: an indoor room with glass walls and outdoor areas.

The cellar door team guides visitors through tastings of the winery’s signature wines. The business also offers food: its restaurant serves a seasonal menu focused on local produce. Views, wine tastings and seasonal cuisine are different aspects you can take into account when planning your trip.

Wineries and their history

Claymore Wines also has a tasting room in Leasingham. Tim Gramp Wines has a winery and cellar door in town. These wine destinations have different historical connections: Tim Gramp Wines’ profile includes both family history and a specific Shiraz award.

Tim Gramp is a direct fifth-generation descendant of the wine family that made the Orlando company from the Barossa Valley well known. Tim Gramp Wines has also won three awards at the ASW National Wineshow: the winery won the “Champion Dry Red Wine of Australia” title three times for Shiraz. This family and award history offers a distinctive historical perspective on winemaking in Leasingham.
