Omnivorious Party, Sydney

Fifteen chefs, twelve bouchées (or bites), a waterside setting and a fireworks display on Sydney Harbour and Darling Harbour made for a spectacular Omnivorious Party.

Held at the terrace of the Australian National Maritime Museum, the cocktail party rocked to the tunes of some of the best DJs sets of Sydney. Philip Shaw wines kept guests hydrated along with Beluga Russian Caviar cocktails and Badoit mineral water just to name a few.
