The journey balanced ancient traditions with modern comfort, culminating in sunset dinners overlooking the Indian Ocean.
Perth Supper Club: Urban Sophistication Redefined
The Perth edition of our Supper Club series saw thirty-eight Members commandeer Fleur restaurant for an evening of culinary excellence in Perth’s CBD. The three-course wine-pairing dinner featured surprise appearances, including Karma Group’s David Hadson from Bali. Conversations flowed as freely as the wine, with seeding of new friendships over shared plates and perfectly matched vintages.
Above & Below: Vietnam’s Tropical Treasures
Fifteen adventurers departed Karma Song Hoai for Cham Island’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Crystal-clear waters and authentic cultural immersion transcended typical tourist experiences, inspiring immediate planning for future Vietnam adventures.
Margaret River: Liquid Gold & Iron Dreams
Nine members braved challenging weather for a wine-soaked weekend in Western Australia’s premier wine region. Despite rain, the group conquered MARQ wines, Aravina estate, and CBCO brewery’s driving range. Local guide Rusty ensured seamless transitions between tastings, while evening celebrations at Toby’s restaurant cemented new friendships over birthday cake and regional specialties.
La Vie Provençale: French Countryside Perfection
Le Préverger was the backdrop for a sublime few days of quintessential French living, where Members joined Chef Cissy preparing fresh artichokes and embraced morning Pilates with Jo Richards. Woodland walks led to extended lunches at John Spence’s favorite local haunts, while poolside afternoons epitomised the art of doing absolutely nothing—beautifully.
