Changing Lives, One Plate at a time

All proceeds from the Taste Gala Lunch support The Portsea Camp, a not-for-profit organisation that has changed the lives of over 70,000 Victorian children since 1946. Funds raised will go directly to the Camp’s “Make a Difference” programs, providing transport, care, meals, and life-affirming seaside holidays to children from disadvantaged and regional backgrounds.

“The Gala brings together chefs, winemakers, and guests who all care deeply about supporting our young people. It’s food with purpose — and the beginning of something special for Sorrento this winter.”

Paired Wine & Spirits

Each pour is hand-matched to the plate. Enjoy a cocktail on arrival before enjoying wine and beer to accompany your feast
