Ethical, Epicurean, Experiences at the Watervale Hotel

The Watervale Hotel has won 20 awards since re-opening in September 2020 including 'Best Restaurant in a Pub or Club in Australia' (RCA). The Watervale Hotel is a farm fresh to plate restaurant in a casual Pub in the heart of the Clare Valley Wine region. We source produce from a number of local farms, including our own organic, bio-dynamic vegetable, fruit, nut berry, herb and leaf Penobscot Farm. Proprietor Nicola Palmer was awarded 'SA Chef of the Year' in 2022 (RCA).

We offer integrated Farm Tour and dining experiences. These include:
- Six Senses Penobscot Farm Tour and Six Course Degustation dining at the Chef's Table at 4pm every day. This tour won the 'Excellence in Food Tourism' award (TicSA).

Our extensive wine list was awarded the 'Best Wine List in SA' (RCA) and 'Best Pub Restaurant Wine List' in 2021. It showcases Clare Valley diversity and match Clare Valley wines to our Degustation Dinners and Cooking Masterclass lunch. In addition, we offer two wine-centric experiences:
