With two separate events hosted on the same day, where better to enjoy the best certified organic produce on offer than the stunning La Porte Space in Rosebery, Sydney.

Conveniently located on the fringe of Sydney’s business district, La Porte Space blends thoughtful design with an added touch of luxury – the perfect place to host our launch event.
