HAPPY NEW YEAR ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Still glowing from an unforgettable New Year’s Eve ✨ Chef Duncan Ly’s menu was divine, Bonvida Wines kept our glasses full with some incredible selections from their portfolio and Sugar Water’s cocktails set the mood just right. Kate Stevens brought us home with a magical musical send off into 2025, complete with bubbles and a new years toast — The selections were superb, but the company was even better.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you for ringing in 2025 with us – cheers to more extraordinary moments in this new year 🤍
