The Robert Oatley Pennant Cabernet that recently won the International Wine Challenge world’s best Cabernet trophy is among the fine selection. 

Tuesday 20 August – Fiesta! at Casamigos Tequila’s ‘House of Friends’. Back by popular demand, start the evening with a Casamigos margarita before diving into a shared feast bursting with the flavours of Mexico.   

Thursday 22 August – Celebrated guest chef Trisha Greentree (Mr Wong’s and Fratelli Paradiso) will take over the coca chu kitchen for an unforgettable Asian-inspired wine-paired menu that emphasises, simplicity, seasonality, and creativity. 

Friday 23 AugustLong Lunch by the Sea at Catseye Beach is a Race Week tradition. The sumptuous dining experience is accompanied by Piper-Heidsieck Champagne on arrival and a selection of wines. 

All week, be you a sailor or landlubber, you can feel part of the saltwater action from onboard Quantum, the luxurious 120ft super yacht that takes guests to the course twice daily for a front row seat at Australia’s premier offshore keelboat regatta.
