Watervale Hotel

Gourmet Week : Penobscot Farm Tour and Degustation Dinner

18 May 2025 - 23 May 2025

A premier experience offered during Gourmet Week.

Guests meet at the Watervale Hotel at 4 pm for transfers to Penobscot Farm for an educational and interactive tour. They will discuss history, climate, permaculture design, organic and bio-dynamic farming as well as Ngadjuri land management. Guests will help to pick their dinner before returning to the Watervale Hotel for degustation dining at the Chef's Table.

There, the 2022 SA Chef of the Year Nicola Palmer constantly evolves an individually plated degustation dinner to match a range of Iconic Clare Valley wines selected to demonstrate the virtues and diversity of Clare Valley wines. A mocktail match is also available as an alternative to wine with mocktails built with Penobscot Farm juices, syrups, vinegars and garnishes.

Guests will sit at the Penobscot Chef's Table interacting with Nicola as she prepares their dinner, or if more than 6 in one of their private rooms.
