As the weekend rolls around, there's no better place to catch the last light than aboard Perky's with a cocktail in hand 🌅🥃

Our Golden Hour Sour blends Maker's Mark bourbon, apricot brandy, fresh lemon juice, aquafaba and bitters into a silky, citrusy sip that's made for crisp winter evenings on the lake.

See you at sunset! ✨❄️

Clodagh has left a huge mark on Perky’s ⛵️ ⚓️

This week we said goodbye to our incredible venue manager as she heads off on her next adventure. She has lead the crew through busy summer and always brought laughs, support and heart. You will be missed, but we are so excited to see comes next for you.

Cold days call for warm drinks 🍷❄️

If you've spent the day on the mountain, there's no better way to thaw out than with a glass of our famous Mt Rosa Wines mulled wine.

Rich, warming, and packed with winter spice, it's the perfect excuse to swap the snow boots for a seat by the lake and watch the sun go down.

See you for a mulled wine soon. 🍷✨
