The Saturday five iconic Manly venues (The Hold, InSitu, Donny’s, Shore Beach Club & Hugo’s) will join forces to celebrate launch new Australian crafted spirit, Villa Vodka.

The Hold, InSitu, Donny’s and Shore Beach Club will celebrate the day with a custom cocktail menu, food specials and tailored activations that bring the local community to life, with local artists, musicians and residents joining the celebration.

Founded by two volunteer lifesavers from the Beaches, Villa Vodka is inspired by the place they call home and this Saturday $1 from every VILLA cocktail sold will be donated to SurfAid.

Former drinks executive Alistair Shields has turned drinks manufacturer with Villa Vodka.

He says, “I’ve worked with two of Australia’s largest alcohol distributors and know we can offer more. March 4 will be our chance to prove this with purpose and create the joy of an everyday holiday, while celebrating our mates, supporting local hospo and giving back.”

He has volunteered with Surf Lifesaving for almost twenty years.

"SurfAid has a strong connection to the Northern Beaches of Sydney, so we couldn't be more stoked to be the charity partner of Villa Vodka for its launch event. The funds raised will help us support remote families to get ahead by delivering access to healthcare, clean water and improved nutrition," says Doug Lees, SurfAid CEO.

Filtered through the fallen coconuts of Queensland’s pristine Port Douglas and using the soft mountain water of Australia’s Great Dividing Range, Villa Vodka is a smooth, triple-distilled, spirit that offers Australian drinkers something new.
