As the chilly weather of May sets in, its time to head indoors and get into some serious food and wine experiences along King William Road. From osso bucco nights to gin tastings to kids eating free to cooking lessons, there is something for the whole family over the next three weeks.
The month-long showcase aims to entice couples, small groups and families to the iconic strip, to enjoy delicious food, local wine and on-trend shopping experiences. I enjoyed a Gin Masterclass at A Cheeky Few last weekend, an amazing experience to learn from the bar staff about serving gin, as well as all about the process of distilling gin from head distiller George from Never Never Distilling Co.
Many of the events have limited places and require bookings, with some nearly sold out, so be sure to head to the King William Road website for all of the session and booking details. I have picked some of my favourite events to feature on the calendar below, so take a look and start planning your next few weeks!

At the new ‘A Cheeky Few’ on King William Road, you will learn the finer details of Gin, what makes a great Gin and the flavour notes that can instantly change the flavour as you taste the varieties. And of course, enjoy a classic Gin &Tonic throughout as you appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into making a great Gin.
