Cake Wines Secret Party

Overview

One crew makes seriously good wine. One makes seriously killer parties happen around Melbourne. The other cooks up some of the finest goods in Sydney. Now they're joining forces for an epic wine-fuelled, pastry-flanked hootenanny inside a mysterious Sydney space. Which Sydney space? That's a big ol' secret.

Melbourne collective Wax'o Paradiso and Sydney bakery Brickfields have teamed up with Redfern-based vino lovers Cake Wines for one huge secret party on May 23. It's the second secret party for Cake, who recently took over the rooftop pool deck of the Holiday Inn in the Rocks with damn good wine, gourmet kranskies and seriously good beats from Lovebombs, FBi Radio and Astral People. It was a bonafide humdinger.

Now the crew are looking to the inner west, inviting their party-starting friends from Melbourne up for an eight-hour afternoon shindig. Wax'o Paradiso have cranked their fair share of killer hootenannies everywhere from MONA's Dark Mofo to outdoor labyrinths and garden rooftops; so they know what they're doing. They've invited Edd Fisher (host of Tomorrowland on PBS106.7) with his partner in crime Simon TK (resident at Melbourne's Hugs and Kisses), to blitz the decks, alongside local legend Steel Bonus. The proviso? Vinyl-only for eight hours.

Whetting whistles for the afternoon, Cake will be bringing their 2013 and 2014 new vintage wines to the bar, with beer and cider on offer too. And if you're feeling a little peckish, Brickfields will be serving up their fresh Modern Australian fare on the day, with the party menu yet to be revealed.

The secret location will be revealed on the day of the party via text message and/or email. Apparently it'll be somewhere in the inner west, so stay tuned.

Here's what went down last time:
