Pipers of Penola
Australian restaurant
👍👍 Lovely setting, beautiful menu and top notch service. Such a wonderful building and love, love that it has carpet! Wine list is comprehensive and having been to a number of cellar doors, there is not a huge mark up.
We enjoyed our evening and will definately be back.

Cafe Lito
Coffee shop
👍👍 While in Penola, recommend stopping in for a quick bite. Store is very small but the owner is extremely friendly. Have to say one of the best chai latte I have had. Food was order and served on the outside table. The sun was out so very pleasant outside.

Windara Bakery
Bakery
😠 Most unfriendly service. Eat-in two coffees and a date scone mid-morning. Gruff ‘what size do you want’ and absolutely no smile. Scone served cold and with no butter. Had to head back to the counter and ask for it to be heated and a spread of butter. If you’re in hospitality, be hospitable!!

Royal Oak Hotel Penola
Pub
👍👍 Called in for pre dinner drinks. Nice staff. Quite, but I think this is due to the pandemic issues and I hope all the county towns get back to normal as soon as possible. Penola is a great town.

Patrick of Coonawarra
Winery
👍👍 Patrick of Coonawarra is a bit of an institution. They have very traditionally made wines and some very exciting new varieties made with different methods. The staff were lovely and very knowledgeable about the wines and able to answer our questions. Really enjoyed our visit.

Prince of Wales Motel
Hotel
😠 Phoned ahead to ask for closing of the kitchen. Told of our group of 12 would be ok if we ordered before 2pm. Arrived at 1:55 and were promptly turned away as the kitchen was closed. The dining room was completely empty though pizzas were still being served to front bar patrons. If I was the owner,...

Moss and Wild
Coffee shop
👍👍 Great coffee and lovely people. Don't get this place confused with the one next door - Moss and Wild make good coffee; the Cafe next door made one of the worst coffees I've ever had.

Wine cellar
👍👍 Katnook has been my spiritual home for Coonawarra Cab Sav after I was introduced to Odessey about 20 years ago and I have been a happy consumer ever since.
