What’s On This Long Weekend
Celebrate the upcoming long weekend (11-13 June) at a Keystone venue – there’s an experience to suit everyone’s style, taste and budget, from community feasts to harbour-side parties to wines of every kind, from organic to imported from France to your favourite local drop on demand.
On the north side, a taste of France comes to beautiful Manly Beach at Manly Wine. From 11-13 June, enjoy a Coast to Coast wine experience featuring stunning wines from coastal France matched with a French-style menu inspired by Provence cuisine.
On Saturday 11 June indulge in wine & cheese matching at the cellar door – Sunday is Crab Shack with a French twist and Monday enjoy a 3-course Prix Fixe luncheon inspired by the Provence wine region whilst enjoying entertainment that will transport you to the French Riviera. The French Prix Fixe set menu is just $50pp or $80pp with matching wines. What better way to enjoy a sunny winter afternoon than by overlooking the ocean with fresh seafood and a glass of French wine in hand! Book here!
