From Saturday 7 September, Alibi Bar & Kitchen at Ovolo Woolloomooloo will bring a unique and exciting high tea offering to life, ‘Wine Socie-tea’. Taking place every Saturday and Sunday across September, Pernod Ricard Winemakers has partnered with Alibi Bar & Kitchen’s Head Chef Jordan Brogan, and Ovolo Woolloomooloo Head Pastry Chef Lei Shang to create this fantastic new offering.
In line with Pernod Ricard’s September rollout of their latest innovation Tea & Wine, the team at Alibi will be serving up this never-before-seen marriage of two of the world’s most ancient ingredients to forge tea infused wine – Tea & Wine. The two drops include a chardonnay infused with chamomile, and a cabernet infused with chai spices.
Jordan and Lei have created an assortment of wholly plant-based sweets treats and savoury feats which celebrate local and seasonal Australian produce and complement the Tea & Wine pairings. High Tea treats include mixed berry cheesecake, cardamom cashew cream, and chocolate domes. Savoury treats feature a walnut terrine; rolled cucumber; or whipped macadamia mini garden.
‘Wine Socie-tea’ will take place every Saturday and Sunday in September from 12-4pm.
There are two ‘Wine Socie-tea’ packages:
- High Tea served with a glass of Tea & Wine on arrival – $40pp
- High Tea served with free-flow Tea & Wine for 1.5 hours – $50pp
