Toast Australia
A monthly dinner series in 2026 with Australia’s most iconic wineries.
For one night every month, Milk Beach Soho will partner with an iconic Australian winery to showcase a selection of their wines alongside a bespoke three course sharing menu crafted by Head Chef Alex Busca.
Each evening will be hosted by Wilem Powell (Head Sommelier from 2022 to 2024 at Peter Gilmore’s seminal Sydney restaurant, Quay) alongside a representative ambassador, owner or winemaker from the winery. Spaces are limited with up to 14 seats per event across one large table, providing an intimate setting for guests to indulge in the very best of Australian wine.

Join us for an unforgettable evening.
Two familiar faces at Milk Beach, Ryan Hancock and Sacha Timeus have both hosted incredible Toast Australia dinners in the past, representing Vasse Felix (Margaret River) and Torbreck (Barossa) respectively.

Toast Australia - Alkina
Wednesday 7 October 2026| 6:30pm start | Milk Beach
£125 per person
Join us at Milk Beach Soho for the next event in our Toast Australia Series, celebrating Australia's iconic wineries.
Alkina Estate is dedicated to Grenache, terroir expression, regenerative farming, and minimal-intervention winemaking—pioneering a new direction for the Barossa Valley. Over the course of the evening, Alkina’s European ambassador, Amelia Jukes, who is no stranger to championing Australian wine having imported and represented some of our favourite estates, will present a selection of Alkina’s wine.
The wines are truly distinctive—elegant, restrained, and ethereal, yet underpinned by a tension that makes them deeply compelling.
Guests will experience a curated selection of Alkina’s finest wines, complemented by a three-course meal crafted by Milk Beach Head Chef Alex Busca. Spaces are limited to 14 seats, providing an intimate setting for guests to interact with each other and the hosts.
