We're proud to support the mahi of the Tania Dalton Foundation for young wāhine across Aotearoa, so this year we've put a wine and cheese tasting at Vivace into the TDF Gala Dinner Silent Auction, and bidding is open now.
You don't need a seat at the Gala Dinner to bid, anyone can jump in. Picture an afternoon in our art deco surrounds, a good drop in hand, cheese board in the middle of the table, and nowhere else to be. 🍷
Have a look and place your bid here: https://app.galabid.com/tdf26/items
Every bid goes straight toward the Foundation's Scholarship and Pass It Forward programmes.

An original piece with a story to tell. This chandelier was designed by Judy Darragh and brought to life by Ken Lawler of Classical Creations, using glass shades discovered within Hotel DeBrett before its redevelopment. 🧡
The spun copper detail draws from an unexpected find, inspired by the copper uncovered during renovations beneath the old shower tiles. A nod to what was here before, reimagined into something quietly striking above.✨
