When it comes to effortless living, Italians have it down pat. Whether that's lingering over an abundant antipasti spread or unwinding with a seaside spritz as the sun dips.
To embrace the essence of a Euro summer, we’ve partnered with the grazing board gurus at Sandhurst to add a dose of la dolce vita to your arvo plans this month.
Think: golden-hour sips, platters designed to share, and the kind of laid-back Mediterranean vibes you can usually only find in Italy.
Together we’re rolling out a series of Italiano events and exclusive offers from 26 February to 9 April at two of Sydney’s favourite haunts—Bondi’s breezy coastal eatery, Rocker, and Randwick’s cult-favourite sandwich spot, Cut Lunch Deli.
Keep scrolling for the lowdown on how to sip and nibble your way through sun-drenched afternoons.
How To Get Your Spritz Sundowners At Rocker
Beloved Bondi diner Rocker is slinging a top-notch Sandhurst sip-and-share combo for $49 that’s too good to pass up.
The antipasti platter is packed to the rafters with Sandhurst’s finest. We’re talking prosciutto di parma, plump kalamata and marinated olives, eggplant, sundried tomato tapenade, caperberries, fried artichoke crostini, plus Saison squid ink, truffle salami, and Rocker’s everything bagel-seasoned focaccia—perfect for sharing with a summer amore or after a beach dip with your crew.
Savour it all with a refreshing sundowner spritz infused with maraschino liqueur, Bianco vermouth, prosecco and soda, served over ice with a cherry on top.
Plus, we have it hot off the presses that the legends at Rocker will be helping us to throw an absolute ripper of a Sunday sesh with live DJs, free spritzes and charcuterie cones filled with Sandhurst faves on 30 March. Consider this an official invitation to clear your schedule and watch this space.
