Overview
Summertime at Crown Street staple The Winery is all about picnics in the venue's lush garden, and every Aussie knows that a picnic isn't complete without a little (or a lot of) bubbly. Happy to oblige, The Winery has just launched bottomless prosecco picnics, on offer every Friday through Sunday from now until January 28.
And the restaurant isn't simply offering the standard two hours of bottomless booze, either. Instead of table service, patrons have unlimited access to an antique-looking stone fountain, which comes complete with a carved lion that has a prosecco tap for a mouth. You'll be able to pour-your-own bubbly from that tap throughout the two hours, while enjoying an extensive picnic spread.
Nab a colourful picnic blanket and nestle among plush cushions while enjoying the grazing menu — it includes the restaurant's signature pork and veal sausage rolls with spicy tomato relish, along with chicken parfait, cheese and assorted salumi. Sides include chickpea dip, fresh fruit and a range of roasted nuts, plus a selection of bread and crackers.
Depending on how you and your mates are sorted for cash, this could very well be the setting for this year's Friendsmas.
The Prosseco Picnic costs $79 per person, with sittings at noon and 2.30pm every Friday through Sunday until January 28. Bookings are essential and can be made through the website.
