AS SPRING STARTS AND THE DAYS GET LONGER, IT’S TIME TO SIT BACK AND SIP A COCKTAIL.

For What’s On - spring, we found the best cocktails in Echuca Moama to enjoy.

Here are our recommendations:

Riverbank Moama

With spring on the horizon, the sun will again shine on Horseshoe Lagoon.

This will make the deck at Riverbank Moama the ideal spot to sit and sip a cocktail while overlooking the water.

A new menu shows off the beautiful local produce, with everything made in-house, from the handmade gnocchi, duck and cherry spring rolls and the infamous decadent couverture chocolate mousse.

Riverbank Moama has shared its recipes with you to enjoy at home, but What’s On would instead visit the Riverbank Moama and have them serve the drinks while overlooking the river.
