Gelato Messina X Starward Whisky Degustation
Messina is hosting its first-ever degustation pairing gelato and booze.
Overview
Do gelato and cocktails go hand-in-hand? Gelato Messina believes they do. To prove it, Messina has invited Starward Whisky to take over its Windsor outpost for three nights from February 21–23. The Messina Creative Department head chef Remi Talbot has joined forces with the Melbourne whisky's founder David Vital to bring the shop its first alcoholic pairing in the form of an eight-course gelato degustation.
While menu details are sparse, we do know that one dish will comprise of apple and green shiso sorbet with pickled baby turnips and an oyster emulsion — and it'll be paired with a cocktail of Starward's Two-Fold whisky, apple kombucha, grilled melon vermouth and black lime. To find out the other seven dishes, you'll just have to head along on the night.
Sessions are selling out quickly, so, if you'd like to go, we recommend booking in ASAP. It'll cost a pretty penny at $190 per head — but, if you're willing to break the bank for one night of culinary delight, we reckon this one will be worth it.
