WHAT’S ON
Our town got it’s name from the Royal Oak Penola for a reason!
The Royal Oak is proud to host events like paired wine experiences and Tasting Australia showcases. Whether you’re after a quality meal full of local produce or looking to explore Coonawarra wine, we’re happy to cater for you at the ROAK. Our kitchen team utilizes the best local ingredients on offer to deliver quality daily specials. Drive through the ROAK’s Sip’n’Save or browse our extensive bottle shop range showcasing the best the Limestone Coast has to offer to pair with your meal.
