A real class · Robertson, Southern Highlands

From farm rhubarb to the cocktail glass.

At Kindred Cocktails with Moonacres School, Byron Woolfrey led guests through syrup preparation and cocktail making. Participants worked at preparation stations before moving to the airline trolley bar to shake their drinks.

That class featured a rhubarb cocktail, a Lemon Myrtle Margarita and a native Espresso Martini. Farm-seconds rhubarb and apple were used in the drinks programme, and guests took home syrup and botanical ingredients.

Explore this past class in Robertson, Southern Highlands. We design your corporate menu around your own event.

Ingredients and sustainability

From the ingredient to the glass.

A thoughtful cocktail class makes its materials and ingredients part of the experience. Our approach starts with equipment used across events and a botanical menu grounded in the season.

Reuse the trolley

Retired airline trolleys are working hospitality equipment, used again across bookings. The aviation character comes from an asset with a second life.

Know the flavour

Lemon myrtle, riberry and wattleseed are examples from Trolley’d’s native botanical programme. Seasonal produce adds another layer; the chosen menu identifies what guests will use.

Put ingredients to work

At Moonacres, seconds produce became cocktail ingredients and surplus syrup went home with guests. That is a documented example of ingredient use that you can explore with our crew.

Your venue and timing

Send your date, guest count, venue address and available session time. We check access, the working area and venue requirements, then confirm the participation format and logistics.

Optional additions

Enquire about a corporate class

Your class questions, answered.

Can you run a cocktail class at our Sydney office?

Yes. Trolley’d provides mobile cocktail classes for offices and event venues in Sydney. Share the venue address and guest count so we can check access, the working area and setup requirements.

Do guests need cocktail making experience?

No prior experience is needed. The class combines a guided demonstration with hands-on mixing supported by the crew.

How long is the class, and how many drinks will we make?

Session length and drink numbers depend on the format and your event schedule. Your proposal confirms both before you book. The three-cocktail Moonacres programme shown above is an example of a past class.

What group sizes can you accommodate?

Tell us the number of people attending and how many you want to participate together. We confirm the crew and station arrangement for your venue, including any smaller-group sessions. Event attendance and simultaneous class capacity are planned separately.

Can non-drinkers take part?

Yes. Non-alcoholic botanical options can be designed into the class menu. Include alcohol-free preferences and dietary requirements in your enquiry so the crew can plan the drinks and participation.

What equipment and ingredients do you provide?

We plan the class equipment, drinks ingredients and serviceware with the hosted session. Your written proposal confirms the trolley setup, crew, ice, glassware or other serviceware, and setup and pack-down arrangements.

Can you customise a class for our company or clients?

Yes. Ask about custom cocktails, branded menus and a class within a larger corporate event. The crew will confirm the options, preparation time and costs in your proposal.

Is this a private class or a public ticketed session?

Use this page to enquire about a private group or a class for your corporate event. Any public ticketed sessions have their own announced dates and booking details.

How do we book, and what affects the quote?
