It was blue skies, cold beer and smiles at the annual Portsea Polo charity event on the Mornington Peninsula at the weekend. Peroni Nastro Azzurro hosted media, VIPs and social influencers at their custom-designed marquee inspired by “vita al mare” (life by the sea). There was food by Georgina Damm and drinks by James Burchett of Melbourne’s The Ugly Duckling cocktail bar, including a Peroni Spritz. We take a look.
