Guilt Free Garden Party

Overview

Many Melburnians are partial to a bottomless, boozy afternoon, but it's usually not the most virtuous way to spend a weekend. That's until now, thanks to the launch of The Wharf Hotel's brand-new 'cleaner' version: Guilt Free Garden Party.

Grab your friends, nab a spot overlooking the Yarra River and enjoy a good Saturday afternoon session — without overindulging. For $49, you'll be sipping on free-flowing, low-sugar cocktails and enjoying nutritious (but still delicious) snacks.

For drinks, there'll be cocktail jugs made with all-natural and seasonal ingredients — think tequila mixed with watermelon and basil; dark rum with spiced pineapple; vodka with mixed berries; and gin with lemon, lime and orange. Food-wise, you'll be grazing on a platter of healthy snacks.

Because everything on the menu is made from naturally low sugar and low calorie foods, you won't have to worry about swaying too far from any diets or fitness goals. Even better? You can bring your fur baby along with you to enjoy an afternoon in the sunshine.

The Wharf Hotel's Guilt Free Garden Party sessions kick off on Saturday, October 4 and then will run every Saturday, from 2–4pm and cost $49 per person. Bookings are essential and can be made here.
