The Rising Sun
ESTABLISHED 1851 • AUBURN, SA
The Rising Sun has stood in the heart of Auburn since 1851. As one of South Australia’s oldest pubs and the town’s first commercial building, it has long been part of the community and a place to gather over good food, good company, comfortable rooms and genuine country hospitality.
Our front bar and dining spaces bring together an extensive Clare Valley wine list, a wide range of beers and cocktails, and a classic pub menu built on premium local and regional produce.
Whether you’re stopping in for a drink, lunch or dinner, The Rising Sun is a place to enjoy Clare Valley dining, local wines and warm country hospitality in the heart of Auburn.
Located in the picturesque township of Auburn, at the southern gateway to the Clare Valley, The Rising Sun is the perfect starting point for discovering the treasures of the region.
Spend your days exploring world-class wineries, cycling the renowned Riesling Trail, or uncovering the region’s rich history. Then return to the comfort of our historic pub, where a warm welcome, a hearty meal, and a well-earned drink await.
The Rising Sun is a treasured piece of 19th-century architecture, with its stone façade, timber verandah, and carefully preserved heritage details that honour its historic roots. Originally known as The Rising Sun Inn, it has been a welcoming stop for locals and travellers since 1851, and remains a proud part of Auburn and Clare Valley history today.
