Mystery Envelope Prizes

Some of the Scarf graduates working on the night will be tasked with offering diners the chance to purchase a mystery envelope to bolster fundraising efforts.

Gold mystery envelope prizes include:

  • A two-day knife-making workshop with Aidan Mackinnon at Cut Throat Knives. At the end of the course you’ll walk away with your own two knives, true kitchen heirlooms.

  • A dining and drinking experience for 8, on the mezzanine at The Distiller’s Bar in Williamstown, including a delightful Vietnamese feast from Ms Kim and delicious Bathtub Gin Co cocktails.

  • A dining voucher (valued at $500) for Julie, named one of Victoria’s Best Restaurants by Gourmet Traveller.


Many more to be announced!

learn about the ‘investment barrel’ auction prize

Donated by long-time Scarf supporters Wayne Bourke and Sue Hiscock, this is a prize with a difference!

*This unique auction prize, aptly named the 'Investment Barrel,' is a 30-litre single malt, single barrel whisky. The winning bidder will actively participate in crafting their own whisky at Bathtub Gin Co, a small batch distillery located in Williamstown. From naming the whisky to pouring it into the barrel, beginning tastings (in 2+ years) to bottling the final product, the winner will be intimately engaged in this unique process.

With an expected production of 150 bottles, the winner will also have the opportunity to design their own label, whether for personal keepsakes, thoughtful gifts, or potential sales. This exceptional experience is made possible not only by Wayne and Sue’s generosity but also by the contribution of a quality oak barrel from Bellarine Distillery.
