By Dinushka Gunasekara | 31st March 2023It’s officially a sweet tooth’s favourite time of the year! The Easter Bunny is just around the corner and he’s bringing with him boozy chocolate cocktails, egg-cellent high teas, sugar-coated putt putt, and a whole lot more. No hunt needed, here are the best things to do to celebrate Easter in Brisbane this year.
Sirromet Winery’s Cellar Door Wine & Chocolate Tasting Experience

Available on Saturday and Sunday afternoons from 12pm, live entertainment will also be on hand to set the vibe as you sip and munch away.
Easter At Brisbane Quarter
Easter fever has taken over Brisbane Quarter with a bunch of their resident restaurants slinging sweet treats inspired by the holiday. Hop on over to Brisbane Phoenix for an adorable bunny coconut jelly that’s almost too cute to eat, or head to Persone for their Choconutty Bunny cocktail and Easter Bombe dessert – an indulgent version of a Bombe Alaska with milk chocolate, coffee semifreddo, and chocolate egg soil. Meanwhile, Japanese restaurant Tenya will be pouring up a delicious Easter Bunny cocktail with a vanilla vodka base, banana chocolate liqueur, and coconut rim.
Cocktails and High Tea At Emporium Hotel South Bank
Burrow your way to this stylish South Bank locale because there’s plenty to cheers to come Easter!

On the ground, Parisian-style patisserie Belle Èpoque will offer a seasonal twist to their popular high teas until 12 April, featuring mouth-watering bites such as roasted baby carrot frittatas, chocolate egg nests, bunny cookies, and an edible garden. The high tea is also available as takeaway – why not hop on over to South Bank Parklands and enjoy a sweet feast by the river?
