Champagne Garden at West Village

Overview

If you're a firm believer in the boozy potential of high tea, then make a date with West Village on Saturday, February 29. For one bubble-filled afternoon, the West End precinct is pouring champagne, serving snacks and inviting Brisbanites to enjoy the combination — and the site's leafy surroundings, of course.

Those finger sandwiches, scones and other canapes will go down extra smoothly with an effervescent splash of alcohol, which is clearly what Champagne Garden is all about. Running from 3–6pm, your $49 ticket includes a glass on arrival, a traditional high tea and a leisurely afternoon. And, if you have dietary requirements, both vegetarian and gluten-free options will be catered for.

If you fancy really steeping yourself in champers, you can spend $98, which'll get you access to a champagne class — complete with tastings — and a Q&A session with champagne experts. It'll also mean that your afternoon starts a little earlier, kicking off at 2pm.
