Spritz Party at Bar Miette
Bar Miette is hosting a riverside Spritz Party with Saison Aperitifs on Sunday 3 May from 3:00 pm, with founder Dave Verheul – chef and bitter drinks maker behind Melbourne’s cult favourite Embla – taking over the bar. Founded in early 2020, Saison is a Melbourne-based aperitivo company built on the belief that vermouth and amaro can be brighter, fresher, and more expressive, capturing peak seasonal moments in every bottle. Each aperitivo begins with a single ingredient at its height, layered with hand-picked wild herbs, fruit, flowers, and Australian-grown wormwood, all harvested and prepared by hand with no essences or shortcuts. It’s a slower, more obsessive approach to crafting aperitivo, and Dave will be pouring Saison spritzes all afternoon, soundtracked by DJ Dingo Balearico, alongside a special menu.
