The Grand Pour

Some teams bond over meetings, budgets, and corporate jargon, and that's perfectly fine. But teams that truly thrive are led by forward thinkers. They connect over laughter, empowerment, and cocktails shaken (and occasionally spilled!) with style. Welcome to The Grand Pour, a meticulously curated cocktail experience designed specifically to guide your team through three of Melbourne’s most spectacular venues. Each destination offers a unique atmosphere, fresh perspectives, and memorable moments of genuine team building and bonding. Your team deserves more than just another night at the pub. They deserve an experience that’s equal parts inspiration, interaction, and celebration, an event crafted to elevate their day from routine to remarkable!

Forget forced conversations and dreaded trust falls; this isn’t your typical corporate outing. The Grand Pour is tailored specifically for teams who value experiences that are effortlessly inspiring, genuinely enjoyable, and subtly skill-enhancing. We’ve thought through every single detail so you don’t have to. All your team needs to do is arrive, sip, shake, laugh, and connect, we’ll handle everything else.

Your journey begins in an exclusive two-storey cocktail lounge, where your team is greeted by the vibrant hum of cocktail shakers, a fully stocked bar, and an expert mixologist ready to lead a dynamic, hands-on cocktail challenge. Over two lively hours, your team will shake, muddle, and stir their way through crafting two signature cocktails, mastering the delicate art of balancing flavours and presentation. We didn’t craft this experience just to see if your team can follow a recipe (though let’s be honest, listening skills are important!). It’s about collaboration, experimentation, creativity, and having an absolute blast together. Who will claim the title of office mixology master? Whose unique creation will become the official team signature? And who’s just quietly hoping their drink is at least drinkable? Whatever unfolds, expect plenty of laughter, new skills, and stories that will be retold around the office for months.

Of course, shaking cocktails can work up an appetite, and we’ve taken care of that too. A delicious gourmet charcuterie spread, bursting with artisan cheeses, premium cured meats, fresh breads, and irresistible accompaniments is ready to fuel the fun and keep everyone energised and engaged.

With mixology skills mastered (well, mostly!), it’s time to transition smoothly to your next venue! a sophisticated riverside setting designed for relaxed, genuine connection. Here, reserved seating, soft lighting, and a fresh round of beverages (on us, of course!) set the perfect stage for meaningful conversations away from spreadsheets and deadlines. This is where the pace slows down, conversations deepen, and celebrations become moments to savour. Gourmet grazing platters complement your drinks, ensuring your team has every comfort while deepening connections. Watch professional barriers melt away, ideas flow naturally, and team unity spark in ways that carry positively back to the office.

Just when your team thinks the day couldn’t possibly get better, we take things higher. Welcome to one of Melbourne’s most exclusive rooftop bars, where the city stretches out before you in a breath taking panorama of twinkling lights. Upon arrival, a bottle of bubbly awaits, ready for a well-earned toast to the day’s adventures. With a reserved section exclusively for your team, this venue transforms your evening from structured team bonding to pure indulgent relaxation. Plush lounges, swaying palm fronds, and the open-air ambiance create the ultimate setting for unwinding in style. As My Ultimate Team VIPs, you’ll also enjoy exclusive access to a discounted cocktail menu, ensuring celebrations effortlessly flow well into the evening. 

Whether your colleagues are celebrating cocktail triumphs (and hilarious mishaps), planning their next team-building session, or simply enjoying this rare moment of genuine connection, this rooftop setting provides the perfect conclusion to an unforgettable experience.

No forced networking. No awkward icebreakers. No stuffy conference rooms. The Grand Pour is what corporate celebrations should be; a day that feels effortless, looks incredible, and leaves your team feeling more connected and energised than ever. This isn’t just another cocktail class; it’s an immersive journey through three premium Melbourne venues, crafted to transition your team seamlessly from action to reflection, culminating in ultimate celebration. Every detail is managed for you, allowing your team to fully relax and enjoy the night.

The Catch? There isn’t one… but there is a deadline. We absolutely love what we do, and we want every team to experience the energy, connection, and pure joy we live and breathe here at HQ. However, demand for The Grand Pour is extremely high, with available dates disappearing faster than a perfectly poured Old Fashioned. If you genuinely care about providing your team with an event they'll adore, now’s the time to act.

Enquire today and let our advisors secure your date. Get ready to shake, sip, celebrate, and watch that positive energy flow effortlessly back into your team's work long after the event concludes!
