Pikes Wines was first established in 1984 by brothers Andrew and Neil Pike, and continues to be family owned and operated to this day. The Pikes Estate is comprised of approximately 100 hectares of rolling slopes in the historic and picturesque Polish Hill River sub region on the eastern side of the Clare Valley. The climate in this area is considerably cooler and the soils are also quite unique t
o the rest of the region. These attributes impart distinctive flavours and aromas to the wines from the Polish Hill River area. Whilst we are best known for Riesling, we have been growing Shiraz and Cabernet for 35 years and have 20 different grape varieties planted on our estate, producing a wide range of wine styles to suit all tastes. Our Tasting Room is open daily and offers a 40-minute seated tasting of five of our estate grown wines, hosted by a dedicated member of our tasting room team. The Pikes Tasting Room and adjoining Slate Restaurant are housed in a new building, which boasts a contemporary design combined with traditional materials to create a linger-worthy tasting and dining experience. On Thursday to Sunday, Slate Restaurant comes to life, offering a modern Australian menu that changes and evolves constantly, focusing on seasonal produce and showcasing the best of the Clare Valley. The Tasting Room and Slate have a seamless connection with our existing on-site brewery, Pikes Beer Company, which includes an alfresco area that offers a relaxed Garden menu on weekends.
