Bringing Melbourne to the Mountain
Join hospitality group Tommy Collins as it takes some of Melbourne's top restaurants to the slopes for intimate dinners and bustling street parties.
Overview
Transporting some of the best Melbourne restaurants to the slopes, leading hospitality group Tommy Collins is making sure Mount Buller's après-ski scene is unmissable this winter. Guided by Grant Smillie (Marmont), Jason Jones (Entrecôte), and Frank Camorra (MoVida), expect a rotating series of ticketed dinners, featuring each restaurant's iconic cuisine served with a hint of alpine flair.
Taking over the beloved mountainside venues of Villager and Little Villager, this four-weekend series sees each restaurant play host for an entire weekend, offering an abundance of signature cuisine, top-tier drinks and curated live entertainment. Think a five-course feast, standout wine and cocktails, and upbeat music for just 120 guests per night.
Yet these exclusive dinner parties are only half of the occasion. The rest sees each restaurant shut down Mount Buller's Bourke Street for Après-Ski Street Parties, featuring an open-air celebration of cocktails, culture and connection. With drinks flowing from midday to golden hour, don your best wintertime outfit as world-class DJs spin tunes for 200 revellers.
With more dates to be announced, the series opens Thursday, June 5–Saturday, June 7, with Grant Smillie's California-inspired Marmont. Next, MoVida takes over with innovative Spanish cuisine from Friday, August 1–Saturday, August 2, before Prahran's Entrecôte arrives on Friday, August 15–Saturday, August 16, with its chic Parisian fare. To kickstart your winter, don't miss the opening day's 'Party for the People' launch shindig, hosted by Grant Smillie and friends.
