Nice night on the Harbour but read on - The cruise and dinner were amazing but beware not all drinks are included like I got the impression of. Dinner takes so long that there is not much time to get any of what the complimentary drinks are anyway, and we were told that cocktails were not included. So we just had the wine pairings. For almost $400 USD, that part was very disappointing, and I did feel it was a bit overpriced, but please know that the food and service were amazing as well as the views of the Harbour at sunset.

On the harbour with a sinking feeling… - The staff were excellent, but for an event sold as the Penfolds Gold Dinner Cruise, featuring some of their finest wines including museum wines, the ‘event’ was more like a scrum. The food was there, just, although to my great surprise my beef was cooked perfectly. That said, what was presented as a Peking duck appetiser was more quackery, than culinary…anything. The fizz was fuzzy, the Rose - ‘Max’s blend’ defies logic given Max was the Grange creator…the Chardonnay was bland, but the Cab Sav dulled my pain. As for the harbour cruise, the interior lighting robbed most opportunities to realise where we were. I could have had a meal at any one of the fabulous harbour restaurants and seen more.
