Reality is setting in as summer is starting to zip by…
Make the most of yours by attending as many alfresco and sunshine-laden events as possible – we have put together a list of our top events on offer in Auckland over the next few weeks.
The Moët Ice Brunch at the ASB Classic Tennis, Auckland
January 13
Looking for something a bit more glamorous this summer? Don your best tennis whites and join Moët and Chandon in the luxury champagne lounge at the ASB Tennis Arena for their stylish Moët Ice Brunch. With a Sugar Club-inspired menu designed by celebrity chef Peter Gordon and Moët’s resident DJ kicking off the party ahead of the ABS Classic Men’s final, there is no better way to draw two weeks of tennis to a close.
New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Million, Auckland
January 27
Prepare for the best party of summer as the glitterati of the racing world descend on Ellerslie for the New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Million. Not only will you see 14 of Australasia’s top jockeys compete for the million dollar purse, but this year the Auckland Racing Club has upped the ante with another million dollar race – the NZB Insurance Karaka 3YO Mile. A day and night filled with excitement (and who wouldn’t get excited over million dollar races?!), glamour, live music and entertainment and with plenty of champagne G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge to go around, this would certainly be a good way to kick off your Auckland Anniversary weekend.
