5 Course Degustation with Wine Matching
You’re planning to make the trek out of the big city lights and want to make the most it – well here’s a deal for your. Here at G&G we can never pass up the opportunity of a 5 course degustation paired with some of our favourite drops. Well, Café Diversity’s offer is no different, serving up a range of Asian inspired dishes matched with a variety of wines from Queensland’s, Cutting’s Wines.
Cookie Decorating Workshop
If it’s something for the kids that you’re looking for, it’d be hard to go passed the cookie decorating workshops, also hosted by Café Diversity. With cookies, confectionaries and fruit juice included, this is a sure fire way to keep the young ones out of trouble for a while perhaps followed by a run around in the sand to burn off that excess sugar.
