The Wilderness Brewing Sessions are about creating a space to explore specialty coffee in the great outdoors.

From curious minds to specialty coffee enthusiasts, the Sessions are perfect seasoned explorers and urban cafe dwellers alike.

Our May Session takes us down the Mornington Peninsula to Cape Schanck and on the Fingal Beach walk.

This months feature roaster is Padre Coffee! We'll be brewing up a selection of their delicious coffees at the workshop and as always there's opportunity to pre-order a bag to take home with you! On top of this, Padre have put together an EPIC prize pack to be won by one lucky attendee on the day!!!!

The walk will be approximately 3km each way; starting near Cape Schanck and following the stunning coastal cliffs to Fingal Beach where the brewing workshop will be held.

The format of these Sessions is an informal, chilled out experience where multiple coffees from different regions will be brewed to try. For those new to coffee, there will be plenty of opportunity to learn, ask questions, and brew yourself using the equipment provided.

The standard ticket option (The Explorer) includes access to the guided walk, the brewing workshop at Fingal Beach, the opportunity to try all the coffees available on the day, as well as a lunch provided by the sensational The Artisan Crust Boulangerie & Patisserie on return to the cars.

Upgraded ticket options are also available for those wanting to take a freshly roasted bag of the feature coffee home with them, or start off into the world of specialty coffee with packages including Aeropresses or grinders.
