Grab your mugs and prep your taste buds. The iconic Brunetti Oro is teaming up with Lavazza, the maestros of coffee, to host the highly anticipated Festival of Coffee.
From Thursday, September 26 to Tuesday, October 1, the heart of Melbourne will transform into a coffee lover’s paradise, with a delicious blend of freebies, masterclasses, and Italian flair.
Every morning, 100 lucky early birds will snag themselves a free Lavazza coffee. Yes, you heard that right—free coffee, the ultimate morning perk, between 10am to 11am.
The festival isn’t just about sipping; it’s about experiencing coffee in a whole new light.
For those who fancy themselves as amateur baristas or cocktail connoisseurs, Brunetti Oro is offering masterclasses that will have you shaking and stirring your way to coffee cocktail perfection. Picture this: limited-edition coffee cocktails, served up with a side of Italian charm, every afternoon from 3pm to 4pm. Whether it’s a Coffee Spritz or a Coffee Negroni, you’ll be guided by expert baristas to elevate your coffee game. And as if that wasn’t enough to keep you buzzing, stick around for happy hour from 4pm and keep the good times brewing.
The festival is a celebration, bringing the authentic taste of Italian coffee right to Melbourne’s doorstep. Mimmo Orlando, Managing Director at Lavazza Australia, couldn’t be more thrilled about the event. “We are proud of our long-standing partnership with the iconic pasticceria, Brunetti Oro, and excited to celebrate our mutual passion for coffee with Melburnians. This year’s Festival of Coffee is set to be our biggest to date,” he says, promising an event that’s not just bigger, but better.
Yuri Angelé, the owner of Brunetti Oro, echoes this excitement. “Every year, we look forward to International Coffee Day as it’s an opportunity to share our deep love for coffee. We are thrilled to once again partner with Lavazza to present the Festival of Coffee,” Angelé says. His words paint a picture of an Italian oasis right in Melbourne’s CBD, ready to welcome coffee aficionados with open arms—and mugs.
And for those looking to keep the festival spirit alive long after the last coffee has been poured, there’s a tantalising opportunity to win a year’s worth of free Brunetti Oro x Lavazza coffee beans. Just purchase a bag during the festival, and you could find yourself set for the next 365 days of coffee bliss.
