With the Summer months now coming to a close (Less than two weeks to be a little more precise) we thought we would put together some things to do in Sydney that you NEED to check off our bucket list this season.

Girls Picnic at The Winery – Surry Hills ( Every Saturday & Sunday)

http://thewinerysurryhills.com.au/whats-on-soon

There’s nothing better than enjoying morish food, great drinks and the company of your best girlfriends on a summer’s day in Sydney. Before the season ends, round up your girl squad for a $45.00 (per person) “Girls Picnic” at the winery in Surry Hills.

You’ll find a huge selection of nibbles, substantial meals, desserts (the brownie is an absolute must), and more cocktails than you’ll know what to do with. Its specialty, needless to say, is wine – and lots of it. But there’s also a range of cocktails and beers on tap, as well as main meals, picky plates and snacks, and private rooms for special functions.

St. George Open Air Cinema

http://www.stgeorgeopenair.com.au

Situated on Mrs Macquaries Point against a backdrop spanning the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and city skyline, St. George Open Air Cinema is a premium lifestyle experience, where the allure of film is combined with fine food and wine, and postcard views.

From early evening patrons gather at the harbour’s edge to make the most of the stunning views, vibrant summer atmosphere and enjoy the event’s harbourside bar and restaurant

Then at nightfall, an unrivalled cinematic experience unfolds when the screen is hydraulically raised to stand three storeys high before a 2000 seat grandstand. 32 speaker surround sound, and a program including premieres, previews and the best of current and recent releases completes an unforgettable night.

Dining At The Boat house Palm Beach

It would be devastating to let the summer go and not have taken in the beyond chic surroundings of Boat House at Palm Beach. This is place is definitely the one the most popular venues (I should mention they have 4 located across the Northern Beaches & North Shore areas) to dine for breakfast, brunch or lunch on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. We suggest you make a day of it weather it’s playing a round of golf just next door at the 18-hole golf course, hiking to the top of the Palm Beach Lighthouse to get a glimpse of some of the most breathtaking 360 degree views in New South Wales, paddle boarding, beaching or all of the above. Then follow up any of these activities by enjoying five star food, interiors to rival a vogue living photo shoot and the natural surrounds that are the Boat House Palm Beach – A glass of bubbles is also a must!

Remember to be safe & responsible and stylish by contacting the team at Prestige Chauffeurs to professional designated driver so you can relax and enjoy all this amazing city has to offer.

The past few weeks have been absolutely CRAZY (In the best way possible!!) in the Prestige Chauffeurs office. We have been working on some pretty exciting projects and with some pretty amazing people!

We thought we would take a minute to fill you guys in on what has been happening from Movie Premiers, to Media Tours, Launch Parties, Racing Carnivals and the Dally M Awards
And it goes a little something like this…

CRYSTAL HEAD VODKA TOUR

About two weeks ago Prestige Chauffeurs were absolutely thrilled to take on the Crystal Skull head Media Tour with Dan Aykroyd and the team during their time Sydney. We had a few of our drivers on the job to make sure we took the whole team where they needed to be over the week which was a mix of television channels, radio stations, newspaper outlets and some of the finest restaurants the city of Sydney has to offer! The CSH Team are some of the most professional and laid back VIP’s we have worked with – It was a pleasure to be involved!

BONDS 100

More recently… (We are talking this week) Prestige Chauffeurs were so privileged and excited to be involved with the Bonds 100 Celebrations with special guest the talented and gorgeous Iggy Azalea!! This is one of the biggest coups for us since we have started up. This was a huge event held at the amazing institution that is Café Sydney (we know, we know yet another 5-star restaurant!!) to mark Bonds Australia celebrating their 100-year birthday.

Spring Time… Almost!

It’s always a good thing to be kept busy – And this could not be truer for Prestige Chauffeurs right now! From our MD – to our chauffeurs on the roads we’ve been working full throttle (Forgive the pun!) to get our the social butterflies we like to refer to as our clients from one race day to carnival to weddings, engagements, 21^st‘s and celebrate spring social affairs!

This year are as busy as we have any been – More so than any other season before; SO with that said, make sure you call and book in quickly for all your upcoming events!

Just because the temps have dropped and winter is now full swing it does not mean social activities in the gorgeous harbor side city we call Sydney.  We may not get the snow, or exude the same icy vibes that other cities to our south do … However we do have one annual attraction that year after year is loved by Sydney’s young and old alike – Ice Skating!

The city of Sydney offers visitors and locals the opportunity to experience the winter magic with two open air, out door destinations offering completely different vibes.

If you city slicker who love a bit of New York City ambiance need to check out the Winter Festival at St Mary’s Cathedral. Over looking Sydney’s Hyde Park this open air ice rink instantly transforms the Sydney streets in a magical winter wonderland reminiscent of New york Cities Central Park.

If your taste skews towards the sun and sand rather than the snow, then Bondi Winter Magic is for you! With a giant ice skating rink constructed right on the beach in front of The Pavilion. Weather you enjoy taking in the view at the famous Bondi Beach and soaking up some winter sun or prefer to skate under the Sydney night sky, Australia’s only beachside ice rink is the perfect place for you!

Plan your next romantic date, family outing or school holiday activity to keep the kids entertained by pre planning your transport. Relax in the comfort and warmth of a chauffeur driven, prestige vehicle as we navigate traffic, drop you at the front and source parking so you don’t have to.

Mention this blog post to receive 10% off your next booking.
