Saving that Champagne for a special occasion? Annual fundraiser World’s Best BYO is set to make a grand return this year, and you won’t believe the exclusive venue they have secured.

It’s cosy, it’s comforting, and it’s really close to home. In fact – it is home.

Hosted by Cure Cancer, the annual fundraiser sees generous bon vivants raise their glasses and open their wallets in support of a good cause. Over its 10-year history, the event has raised over $2 million for vital cancer research.

While usually held at a glamourous restaurant, this year’s event will happen in your very own home. How’s that for convenience? World’s Best BYO has teamed up with Merivale at Home to create an unforgettable night in, with a feast prepared by Merivale delivered to your door. Simply put on the finishing touches at home, and all that’s left to do it pop that special bottle you’ve been saving.

If your cellar’s looking a bit sparse, Merivale Master Sommelier Franck Moreau has put together a number of curated beverage packs to pair with your dining box.

Chair of Cure Cancer Philip Corne said: “In a year where we are learning to do everything differently, our famous World’s Best BYO event heads for home, thanks to the enormous generosity of our friends at Merivale and their fantastic Merivale at Home concept. We’ve never been more in need of funds for cancer research than now, and we invite people to go online, make a donation, order
their delicious dish prepared by the famous chefs of Merivale, and raise a glass and enjoy!”
