The Town Today
The Sevenhill township supports a hotel, Regional Cellar Door (showcasing wines from more than a dozen boutique producers, gourmet bakery, homewares shop, several bed and breakfast cottages, a CFS station and an antique shop. The community hall is also used as a weekend market stall, and Friday night bingo is a tradition! Several of the Regions famous wineries and cellar doors are located east and west of Sevenhill.
The town's oval is found east of the main cross road and has toilet facilities. It supports a cricket team during the summer months and tennis facilities are also located here.
Sevenhill is at the 'heart' of the Clare Valley, and is a hub for the locals and tourists visiting the Region. It is a perfect place to gain access to the Riesling trail walking and cycling route, just east of the town, with off-road parking facilities available.

Famous quotes containing the words town and/or today:
“Such a set of tittle tattle, prittle prattle visitants! Oh Dear! I am so sick of the ceremony and fuss of these fall lall people! So much dressing—chitchat—complimentary nonsense—In short, a country town is my detestation. All the conversation is scandal, all the attention, dress, and almost all the heart, folly, envy, and censoriousness.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“As yesterday and the historical ages are past, as the work of today is present, so some flitting perspectives and demi-experiences of the life that is in nature are in time veritably future, or rather outside of time, perennial, young, divine, in the wind and rain which never die.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
