The event offers a mid-century house tour with a twist.
Set against the backdrop of Robin Boyd’s family home, “Sunset Cocktails at Walsh Street” invites guests to explore this experimental modernist residence at dusk, with mid-century inspired cocktails, music and stories offering a glimpse into the Boyd’s social and creative life.
Hosted by the Robin Boyd Foundation, the experience begins with a 60s-inspired welcome cocktail (or mocktail) served on the striking floating salon, while jazz from Robin’s own record collection plays softly in the background.
Guests will find themselves sitting on a Featherston settee, or furniture designed by Boyd himself, as the host shares stories and anecdotes of Walsh Street as one of Melbourne’s hot-ticket party houses.
The 2026 Sunset Cocktails at Walsh Street spring season includes three signature house curated in collaboration with Sigrid de Castella.

Once the formalities conclude, guests will head downstairs, picking up their second cocktail along the way to enjoy while exploring the residence as the dusk light dances across the unique architecture.
The final cocktail – aptly named “the last word” – will be served as the night winds down.
