Spirit of the Wild with Wild Turkey

Wild Turkey has launched the Spirit of the Wild, a masterclass series that encourages Australians to unplug, get off the couch and reconnect with the outdoors.

Spirit of the Wild

Spirit of the Wild Darren Robertson with Chris and Cam Grant

Crafted by Wild Turkey, in collaboration with Chris and Cam Grant the founders of Unyoked (an off-grid cabin movement) and sustainable chef Darren Robertson (Three Blue Ducks and Rocker), Spirit of the Wild invites Australians to enjoy and appreciate an evening of real food, real craft and the real outdoors.

Spirit of the Wild came to life in Sydney on 15 August at the Terminus Hotel in Pyrmont where  guests learned about real food, stripped back to the essentials in a BBQ smoking workshop, as well as making cocktails with native and foraged ingredients, all inspired by Darren Robertson. Helping Aussies experience the ultimate antidote to modern life, attendees also heard from Unyoked and how they’re pioneering the trend to make the wilderness accessible. 

For those wanting to disconnect entirely from the distractions of the city, 20 tickets are available for an exclusive one-night-only camping event to be held in Glenworth Valley on 21 September. Hosted by Wild Turkey, Unyoked and Darren Robertson – guests will enjoy real food with a menu curated by Darren Robertson served alongside specially curated drinks.
