Six Senses Penobscot Farm Tour and Degustation Dinner
Duration:
Operated By:
A one hour tour of the organic, bio-dynamic Penobscot Farm followed by Degustation Dinner at the Watervale Hotel with option to include Wine or Mocktail matching.
The tour includes history of the Farm, and most importantly how organics, bio-dynamics and permaculture principles leads to enhanced taste and enriched nutrition. Visitors will see, hear, feel, smell and taste their way around the farm as well as understand how concentration of vibrational energy, improved soil health and effective water retention all leads to better fresh produce. We will then head to the Penobscot Restaurant Chef’s Table at the Watervale Hotel for a degustation dinner, with option for Wine or Mocktail matching and tutored tasting that covers Clare Valley terroir, climate, geology and geography. Executive Chef and low-waste warrior Nicola Palmer and her team of international Chefs will demonstrate how they enrich and enhance the fresh, natural flavours Mother Nature has gifted us. The dishes will include fresh produce picked that day such as our Penobscot Farm Salad, as well as other farm produce preserved earlier as relishes, sauces, pickles, ice-creams or sorbets. Sommelier Warrick Duthy can select Clare Valley wines or Penobscot Mocktails to match each course, this can be decided on the day. Alternatively diners can simply select their own beverage accompaniments.

I can remember going to the Watervale Hotel years back when it was a rundown pub and now it is an amazing venue. Would love to know how much was spent on the renovations.
Highly recommend this place for a simply stunning dining experience.
Sorry we didn't take any photographs.
There is accommodation and I can only assume that it would be simply stunning.



We shared both and it was heaps! Burger was terrific. Hand cut chips and a house made mayo dip. Sliders (3) were very tasty.
Service very friendly and very good. A must do stop.
A great looking wine list which unfortunately couldn’t partake as tastings to continue through the rest of this amazing valley


We had the feed me experience which was stunning- exceptional quality fresh ingredients, starting with three small entrees, ( tuna on feta with crunchy skin, duck pate) and delicious home baked bread before moving to a goat ragú pasta and finished by kangaroo loin with amazing lamb fat roasted potatoes and baked beetroot. The dessert was a Catalan cream with the thinnest of crispy tops!
Everything was exquisite and presented at a lovely leisurely pace by engaging and knowledgeable staff.
We’ll be back!

We also ordered a $60 bottle of wine which was clearly priced on the menu which we enjoyed a lot.














Thank you guys!
The presentation of the food was immaculate, the staff were very friendly and took a lot of pride in their kitchen.
Warwick & Veronica are lovely hosts and are doing wonderful things with biofarming and having a farm led kitchen causes the most amazing looking and tasting produce.




































We ordered the carpaccio, lamb sausage, duck sliders, malloreddus pasta and the large format steak.
It started with the fit out, parts of the service and then the steak.
It was cooked badly and overall was a extremely lack lustered dish. The salad was oil coated and bland, the potatoes has great flavour but were not crispy on more than one side.
This brought the whole meal down and if I would describe the experience as Aggressively Mediocre.


The numerous awards speak volumes to the quality of this hotel.
The food, the service, the heritage, the EVERYTHING!
The owners are super knowledgeable about the history and the area.
The food is sourced locally and from their own personal farm. ???? FABULOUS!


in the degustation when we were approached by the owner who proceeded to tell us that they were paddock to plate and if we wanted simpler food there was a general store down the road. After been offended because we were not dressed correctly for a pub!! we left. Only visit this venue if you look the part as they appear to judge. I have no idea what the food is like as the owner is too arrogant to serve people that don't look rich. Paddock to plate is meant to be simple food. Good luck with the glorified pub filled with nonna's furniture and lack of hospitality.
