Wine Paired Dining
Diners can request wine matching with their meals at any time. This can be with our A La Carte menu, Group Feasts or Degustation experiences.Â
Wine Matched Degustation Dinners
We offer wine-matched degustation dinners daily. You can choose from our Icon wine match selection which includes a back vintage Wendouree red and Grosset Riesling and an award-winning Kilikanoon Shiraz; or the Classic Clare Valley selection which demonstrates the diversity of the region.
For groups of 6 or more, we can tailor a wine-matched degustation dinner served in private rooms. For example, we could arrange a dinner with wines from wineries that you do not visit when you are in Clare, or wines that do not have Cellar Doors.
Please make contact to arrange a special dinner by emailing taste@watervalehotel.com.au.
We also match our Degustation dining experiences with mocktails.
