Over 200 of Sydney’s premier party guests were privileged to experience a stylish Italian inspired soiree to launch the 2009 Campari Calendar featuring Jessica Alba.

The 2009 Campari Calendar launch in Sydney

In line with the Italian mood of the event, a jet black Lamborghini marked the grand entrance to a luxury home, perched on the cliffs and overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Sydney’s Dover Heights. The private residence was host to Sydney’s social scene for three and a half hours as they toasted the photographic works of Mario Testino.

Illuminated in red, the stylish space was transformed into the Italian style ‘Club Campari’, based on Jessica Alba’s interpretation of Red Passion. Alluring scenes from the 2009 Campari Calendar were recreated by the infinity pool, bringing to life a sophisticated yet playful backdrop for party guests to enjoy.

Guests were treated to tasty canapés by The Liquid Group and Campari cocktails created by renowned mixologist Mike Enright (from Sydney’s ivy), including the Perfect Serve, Negroni Sbagliato, Campari Smash and the 10th Anniversary Signature Cocktail.

Celebrating its 10th year, only 9,999 copies of the Campari Calendar are produced world-wide each year.
