Behold the Fountain of Goose
Nov 20, 2019
Whilst sitting at your desk or going about the hustle and bustle of your day, have you ever dreamed of stopping for a moment to sip a refreshing cocktail as you lounge by the water’s edge of a beautiful fountain basking in the warm summer sunshine? Even better yet, finding yourself doing so somewhere in Europe like the French Riviera. It might seem like the sort of thing that dreams are made of as Australia’s winter slowly says au revoir for another year, but French super premium vodka, GREY GOOSE, have turned your fantasy into a reality with their tres chic, inner-city escape, the “Fountain of Goose”. Discover it popping up from October through to December in three unexpected urban locations for just five days each, turning ordinary, everyday moments into a celebration that’s worth taking a moment to enjoy.
The Fountain will be a little (but impressive in size) taste of the kind of decadence and treat yourself mindset that Grey Goose aims to offer as the celebratory drink of summer. The bespoke build with white marble look finish, is a captivating sculptural working fountain, inspired by the brand’s luxury French heritage with its ornate European architecture. The world first Grey Goose brand experience will be journeying the east coast of Australia from October through to December, visiting Broadbeach in Queensland, Circular Quay in Sydney and Federation Square in Melbourne.
The Fountain of Goose will be open to the general public and those who stumble upon it. The Fountain also doubles as a bar featuring the limited-edition GREY GOOSE x Maison Labiche Riviera bottle. Serving complimentary GREY GOOSE Vodka, Lime and Soda minicocktails, the Fountain of Goose scene is a wonder-filled space brimming with endless photo opportunities underneath GREY GOOSE umbrellas and surrounded by blue-striped deck chairs – with the Fountain as your backdrop, you could almost believe you’re relaxing in the French Riviera. A play on the Fountain of Youth, the Fountain of Goose is for those who are young at heart, complete with its own wishing well, visitors will receive a GREY GOOSE coin to toss into the Fountain – encouraging them to make a wish and ‘Live Victoriously’ with joie de vivre.
Visitors will also be surprised and delighted by the ‘out of the blue’ performances and experiences that will materialise like magic during each of the pop-ups. The acts will change depending on the day and location, so visitors to the Fountain of Goose will never know quite what to expect – which is all the more reason to visit twice!
