Project Botanicals is back, running from Thursday 8 September to Sunday 18 September at the Taxi Riverside restaurant in Federation Square, Melbourne.

In 2016, the acclaimed dining experience will capture guests’ senses through music, fragrance, culinary delights from Head Chef of Taxi Kitchen, Tony Twitchett, and cocktails created by Bombay Sapphire Ambassadors, in collaboration with Taxi, Lily Blacks, Gin Palace and Union Electric.

Diners will hear tracks from an exclusive playlist created by international DJs and local Bondi boys, Yolanda Be Cool, that showcases the local sounds of exotic places where the ten botanicals in Bombay Sapphire are found. Samantha Taylor from Melbourne’s The Powder Room has also developed a unisex fragrance for Project Botanicals that will give guests the opportunity to experience the aroma of the gin in a new way.
