Innocent Bystander in the Yarra Valley is renowned for creating great wines without pretension but with passion - which makes the Negroni the perfect cocktail match.
One of the world’s favourite cocktails will be celebrated at one of the Yarra Valley’s favourite wineries this Spring. For one week in September, bars and restaurants around the globe come together to celebrate the iconic Negroni in support of Slow Food and its mission to foster a more equitable and sustainable world of food and beverages. You can read more about that here.
To celebrate Negroni Week, Innocent Bystander will serve four specially created versions of the timeless cocktail at its restaurant, bar and cellar door HQ in the heart of Healesville.
Along with a Classic Negroni made from Four Pillars rare dry gin (from just down the road), Campari and Syrah vermouth, there’ll be a White Negroni (Four Pillars rare dry gin, Suze aperitif, field blend vermouth) and an invigorating Coffee Negroni made from Four Pillars rare dry gin, coffee-infused Campari and Syrah vermouth.
The team has also created the innovative Berry Bubbly Negroni that teams strawberry-infused Campari and Maidenii dry vermouth with Innocent Bystander Moscato, garnished with a mint sprig. It’s the perfect Springtime celebration of a classic cocktail with a delightful Innocent Bystander twist.
Innocent Bystander’s HQ in picturesque Healesville in the heart of the Yarra Valley is open every day for delicious wine, local produce, artisan pizza and paella served in the restaurant. It’s the perfect place to celebrate Negroni Week, which runs September 18-22.
Just for AGFG readers, Innocent Bystander has shared not one, but two of their specialty Negroni recipes:
Enjoy!
