Always pushing the boundaries, Ovolo Woolloomooloo has brought an exciting high tea offering to life, Wine Socie-Tea. Partnering with Pernod Ricard Winemakers, Alibi Bar & Kitchen’s Head Chef Jordan Brogan, and Ovolo Woolloomooloo Head Pastry Chef Lei Shang have created an extensive high tea offering of savoury and sweet treats to match a never-before-seen marriage of two of the world’s most ancient ingredients to forge tea infused wine – Tea & Wine.
The Tea & Wines on offer include a Chamomile infused chardonnay and a chai infused Cabernet.
Jordan and Lei have created an assortment of wholly plant-based sweets treats and savoury feats celebrating local and seasonal Australian produce, and complementing the Tea & Wine pairings.
Wine Societ-Tea will take place Saturday and Sunday from 12-4pm until the end of September.
Location: Ovolo Woolloomooloo, 6 Cowper Wharf Roadway, Woolloomooloo
