Join us for our special annual Bastille Day Dinner ! Lucky French enthusiasts will join our sommelier, Antony Anderson (WSET4), for a delightful evening of exploring the flavours of French food and wine from some of France's best wine regions over a perfectly matched four-course authentically French dinner.

French National Day is the anniversary of the Storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789, a major event of the French Revolution, as well as the Fête de la Fédération that celebrated the unity of the French people on 14 July 1790.

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to indulge in this French-themed dinner, and expand your wine palate (wines extra). The event will be held at Life's Too Short Bar located in Tribeca Arcade, Victoria Parade, East Melbourne VIC, Australia.

Grab your ticket and get ready to sup, sip, savour, and socialize in a cosy atmosphere surrounded by fellow wine enthusiasts.
See you there!
