It’s that special time of the year again, when Melbourne transforms into a tennis-mad city as the Australian Open rolls into town. And while there are plenty of fun pop-ups to check out as part of the festivities, we’re pretty damn excited about one activation in particular.
On January 21 from 11am to 5pm, you can pick up a luxurious, Italian-inspired picnic pack that Peroni Nastro Azzurro has created to celebrate its third consecutive year as the official partner of the Australian Open and mark the first Saturday of the tournament. Because is there anything better than a little picnic sesh on a sunny weekend? We think not.
To be part of this sumptuous feast, simply head on down to the Botanical Hotel in South Yarra to create your custom picnic pack from a delicious selection of deli items – we’re talking cured meats like prosciutto, bresaola, mortadella and pressata, plus cheeses, dips, olives, fruit and freshly baked bread from Baker Bleu. You will also be able to pick up a six-pack of Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0 per cent, which boasts a full-flavoured, refreshing taste and is the perfect accompaniment to your picnic spread.
Oh, and did we mention it’s entirely free? It doesn't get much better than that. The Botanical Hotel is also conveniently located just a short stroll from the Royal Botanic Gardens, so you can take away your goodies to enjoy on a scenic patch of grass.
Picnic with Peroni is open to everyone while stocks last, and there is no booking or registration required. Simply make your way to the Botanical Hotel to take part.
