RAFI bar manager, Cameron Freno, has carefully curated our events wine with selections to appeal to all tastes and budgets. With a full wine list of over 300 wines from some of the world’s best boutique wineries, sometimes due to the exclusive quantities of wines produced we can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to get our hands on enough for large groups to enjoy for the full duration of your event.
Our full wine list is always available on the day should you wish to order single bottles to enjoy at your event.
We recommend pre-selecting a sparkling, white, red and rose to be served for the duration of your event.
All wines on consumption are charged by the bottle unless agreed otherwise by your event coordinator prior to your event.
