Refined Events, Evenings & Gatherings

Discover an ever-evolving calendar of chef-led dinners, live music, wine immersions, and poker socials in an intimate, elegant setting that celebrates hospitality over spectacle.

Raise And Dine Events

Signature Events Overview

From seasonal chef's tables and sommelier-led pairings to Australian contemporary jazz nights, Raise And Dine curates refined social gatherings where cuisine, conversation, and live performance come together with ease.

Each event is designed as an immersive yet unhurried experience. Guests are guided through thoughtfully composed menus, considered beverage pairings, and a warm style of service that feels personal, attentive, and distinctly Australian.

Gourmet Evenings & Live Entertainment

Explore exclusive multi-course dinners hosted by celebrated chefs, each paired with live musicians and curated tasting menus for an unforgettable culinary experience.

Our gourmet evenings showcase seasonal Australian produce, elevated through contemporary techniques and presented across a series of courses that reveal a narrative on the plate. Live entertainment — from intimate jazz trios to modern acoustic sets — is tuned to complement conversation rather than overpower it.

  • Seasonal chef's table series with limited seating
  • Sommelier-crafted wine and non-alcoholic pairings
  • Australian contemporary jazz and acoustic ensembles
  • Optional pre-dinner cocktails and canapés in the lounge
