This inaugural major food and wine event will be a celebration of flavour, sustainability, and ethical produce with Sydney’s glistening harbour celebrating the very best in bubbles, from Sparkling Cuvee, Malbec, Shiraz, Pinot Chardonnay, Moscato, Zibibbo to Prosecco, Cava and many more.

A one of a kind cohesive sensory experience, each element, be it beverage, produce or gourmet food, is carefully curated to tie into the central theme ‘SPARKLING’.

This free event will showcase over 60 sparkling wines from both local and international wineries. The Australian list includes Peterson House Ltd, Redbank Wines, Savannah Estate, Stonehurst Cedar Creek, Gooree Park Wines, Tamburlaine Organic Wines, Santa & D’Sas,  Bunnamagoo Estate,  Hungerford Hill, Lerida Estate, Mount Majura Vineyard, Pinnaro Wines, Gundog Estate and Vinden Estate. International sparkling wines will be presented by XWineandZ, Made in Italy, Direct Wine Cellars and EuroConcepts.

There will also be a special array of Sparkling Bar activations during the Festival.

For the ultimate food pairing experience, wander over to the The Ridge North Lilydale Sparkling Rose + Oyster Bar to try Tasmania’s Best Small Vineyard of the year 2017 their Sparkling Rose matched with delicious NSW Signature Oysters.
