Melbourne in a Glass

As part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, 1806 invites you to a Masterclass that transcends the ordinary.

Step into the world of cocktail artistry, where every sip is a masterpiece and every ingredient tells a story of Melbourne’s vibrant spirit.

In this exclusive experience, you’ll immerse yourself in the city’s cocktail legacy, crafting three cocktails—one of which will be your own creation—using the finest local spirits from renowned distilleries and fresh, seasonal produce sourced from Melbourne’s lively markets.

Guided by our expert bartenders, you’ll unlock the secrets of blending native botanicals, balancing intricate flavours, and working with premium spirits, culminating in the creation of your very own signature cocktail, tailored to your unique taste.

This experience includes a local welcome drink, three exquisite handcrafted cocktails, seasonal canapés, and a curated recipe booklet to bring the magic of 1806 home with you.
