Coles Liquor announces its premium retail banner VintageCellars is partnering with Golf Australia as a major sponsor of the ISPS Handa Australian Open 2023.
This year’s event will be held in Sydney at The Australian and The Lakes Golf Club from November 30 to December 4.

Men and women will play in alternating groups across both courses over the first two days, then at The Australian Golf Club on the weekend.
For sports fans and lovers of golf, it’s a must-attend event.
Brand activation includes a Vintage Cellars pop-up bar in the Fan Village. Champagne Canard-Duchêne, wines by Audrey Wilkinson from the Hunter Valley and cold Peroni beer will pour over the four days.
Mia Lloyd, General Manager of Customer Loyalty, said, “We’re delighted to be the official alcohol retailer and champagne and sparkling wine partner of the ISPS Handa Australian Open.
