The Riverbank Moama is one of the district’s favourite places for a glass of sparkle, on the deck, under the river red gums, watching the Murray River flow by.
With its acclaimed cocktail menu, the Riverbank Moama offers the perfect spot to unwind and savour our endless summer afternoons.
The Riverbank Moama’s Christmas sparkle cocktail recommendation is a French 75.
The French 75, a zesty and effervescent gin-based cocktail, embodies the spirit of Christmas celebrations.
