Cocktail Olympics

Overview

Built onto the disused Sandridge Rail Bridge, The Immersery is perhaps the most innovative festival hub the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival has ever seen. Tying into the theme of water, the multi-level temporary structure features a restaurant, bar and raingarden right on the banks of the Yarra. Open every night of the festival, food will be served by local chefs Florent Gerardin (Silo), Daniel Wilson (Huxtable and Huxtaburger) and Jesse Garner (Añada and Bomba), and the country's best bartenders will converge to create cocktails inspired by the three states of water — solid, liquid and gas. With the likes of Daniel Gregory from The Everleigh and Sydney's Shady Pines, the team from Lily Blacks, Eau de Vie and more, this is one bar you can't miss.

This event was one of our top picks for the 2014 Melbourne Food and Wine Festival. See the full list here.
