Hobsons Bay isn’t short of locations to bring in the new year, but few are as refined as the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria (RYCV) in Williamstown.
On December 31, the RYCV will open its clubrooms and their expansive views of the city to revellers who want to bring in 2025 with a touch of elegance.
RYCV food and beverage operations manager Simone Kienc said New Years Eve was an opportunity to enjoy the finer things in life.
“It’s the perfect evening to indulge in delicious seasonal produce, paired with some delicious drops from across Australia, while enjoying live music from DJ Retro Red and the best seat in Melbourne to watch the fireworks light up the night sky.”
While the club’s outdoor deck offers the ideal vantage point to view the midnight fireworks, Ms Kienc said the kitchen and dining room were where the evening’s most spectacular highlights would take place.
“Our chef sources the freshest ingredients and food sustainability is at the heart of our kitchen,” she said.
“Chef Leicester O’Loughlin brings you delicious flavours which change with the seasons and is creating a feast for NYE. Our bonza barbecue buffet will include a selection of top quality proteins, vegetarian delights, fresh seasonal salads, and an array of house made condiments.”
Entry is $85 for RYCV members, $95 for non-members, $30 for kids, with indoor, outdoor deck and picnic table seating options available.
Roaming canapes will be offered from 6pm followed by a bonza barbecue buffet and fireworks at 9.30pm and again at midnight.
