Awaken your senses beneath the waves at our exclusive underwater private dining experience, now in collaboration with renown winemakers Penfolds. This once-in-a-lifetime event seamlessly blends the unparalleled majesty of the marine world with the mouth-watering delight of fine dining at its very best. Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries or other special occasions, this is a meal you’re sure to remember.

Hand-selected by expert sommeliers to suit each dish, you’ll also be treated to a velvety Penfolds chardonnay, robust shiraz, a floral viognier and a dazzling champagne brut rosé.

A few things to keep in mind that are not permitted - open flame, sparklers, balloons, confetti/glitter and real petal confetti. SEA LIFE is an aquarium and must work around the animals needs first and foremost. When in doubt, please email rem@seg.melbourne to see if something is permitted.
We do not provide vouchers. Gift cards and vouchers are legally required to have a minimum three-year expiry period. As subcontractors, our future at the venue is uncertain.
During your visit, you'll share the aquarium with other diners. The Coral Atoll space has 4 tables near the tanks; you will not see these guests during your meal, but there may be background noise. In other spaces, you get an exclusive table.
