The Fountain of Goose Is Coming to Sydney

The Fountain of Goose is coming to Sydney with complimentary Grey Goose Vodka mini-cocktails, entertainment, a wishing well and photo opportunities.

The Fountain of Goose

The “Fountain of Goose” by French premium vodka, Grey Goose is popping up at First Fleet Park, Circular Quay, from 20 to 24 November, turning ordinary, everyday moments into a celebration that’s worth taking a moment to enjoy.

The Fountain will be a little (but impressive in size) taste of the kind of decadence and treat yourself mindset that Grey Goose aims to offer as the celebratory drink of summer. The bespoke build with white marble look finish, is a captivating sculptural working fountain, inspired by the brand’s luxury French heritage with its ornate European architecture.

The world first Grey Goose brand experience is journeying the east coast of Australia, having visited Broadbeach in Queensland in October, before travelling south to Circular Quay in Sydney and then onto Federation Square in Melbourne. It will be open to the general public and those who stumble upon it.

The Fountain also doubles as a bar featuring the limited-edition Grey Goose x Maison Labiche Riviera bottle. Serving complimentary Grey Goose Vodka, Lime and Soda mini-cocktails, the scene is a space brimming with endless photo opportunities underneath Grey Goose umbrellas and surrounded by blue-striped deck chairs.

A play on the Fountain of Youth, the Fountain of Goose is for those who are young at heart, complete with its own wishing well, visitors will receive a Grey Goose coin to toss into the Fountain – encouraging them to make a wish and ‘Live Victoriously’ with joie de vivre.

Visitors will also experience ‘out of the blue’ performances during each of the pop-ups. The acts will change depending on the day and location, so visitors will never know quite what to expect.

For those who like to eat their cocktails as well as sip on them, Grey Goose has collaborated with Gelato Messina to deliver a custom-made, spresso Martini flavoured gelato at Circular Quay on November 22. Made using Grey Goose vodka, there’s no better way to celebrate the weather getting warmer than with a Vodka, Lime and Soda in one hand and a delicious Espresso Martini gelato in the other.

Grey Goose has also partnered with Maybe Sammy and Quay Bar, where visitors to the Fountain can rendezvous with their friends to redeem a speciality cocktail token.

For those wanting to experience the Fountain of Goose, find it at First Fleet Park in Circular Quay on:

  • Wednesday 20 November, 2 – 6pm
  • Thursday 21 November, 2 – 6pm
  • Friday 22 November, 3 – 7pm
  • Saturday 23 November, 1 – 5pm
  • Sunday 24 November, 1 – 5pm

The Fountain of Goose will then appear in Melbourne in December.
