White on Whitehaven Long Lunch, proudly presented by 74 Islands Distillery and Fish D’vine Catering, returns to the world-famous Whitehaven Beach for two exclusive dates on September 12 and 13, 2025. This ultimate bucket-list Whitsundays experience invites guests to don their finest white attire for an unforgettable day of barefoot luxury, premium dining, and vibrant live music, all set against the stunning backdrop of the turquoise Coral Sea and the pristine white sands of Whitehaven Beach.
“We are honoured and excited to partner with the Fish D'Vine team for three years of White on Whitehaven,” said Glenn Hitch, General Manager of 74 Islands Distillery. “What better way to savour the essence of the Whitsundays than by sipping a 74 Islands Distillery cocktail on Whitehaven Beach, made with pure Whitsundays rainwater? This is as close to tasting paradise as it gets!”
The naming sponsor partnership will see 74 Islands Distillery featured throughout the event - from welcome cocktails to a show-stopping gin-cured Atlantic salmon dish as part of the culinary lineup.
Live music will be provided by Hot Potato Band, a high-energy, 7-piece brass collective from Sydney known for their interactive performances and infectious festival vibes.
The day begins with a scenic cruise through the Whitsunday Islands, before guests step ashore onto Whitehaven Beach where the iconic sands are transformed into an open-air, oceanfront restaurant. Greeted with Taittinger Champagne, freshly shucked Coffin Bay oysters, salmon sashimi and exquisite canapés, guests will embark on a culinary adventure curated by Fish D’vine’s Kev Collins and team.
New in 2025, the menu will feature returning crowd favourites and exciting new additions, including:
- 74 Islands gin-cured Atlantic salmon
- Local tiger prawns and bugs
- Barramundi fillets
- Char-grilled spatchcock
- And the iconic melt-in-the-mouth Wagyu beef fillet
“Go figure,” said Fish D’Vine chef/owner Kev Collins, “we showcase the best local and Australian seafood on Australia’s most famous beach, surrounded by pristine ocean — and our beef steals the show every year.”
Lunch is served buffet-style under a breezy white marquee, paired with a premium beverage package featuring Taittinger Champagne, Australian wines, premium beers, cocktails and soft drinks.
Guests can finish the afternoon with fresh tropical fruit and indulgent desserts, carried around by roaming wait staff (often waist-deep in the water!) as the music plays on and the sun dips low.
“This event is fast becoming one of the most sought-after experiences in the Whitsundays,” said Tim Booth, Chief Executive Officer of Tourism Whitsundays. “With its winning combination of iconic Whitehaven Beach, locally sourced seafood, and premium beverages, it continues to draw visitors from Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne year after year.”
