Overview

As well as being one of Brisbane's best concert venues, The Triffid is an ace place to enjoy a drink. While you don't need to be there for a gig to kick back in the beer garden, combining both tunes and brews is one of this Newstead favourite's drawcards. At the Sip Happens Festival, that's still the formula — but at an afternoon-long wine-tasting fest with a live music soundtrack.

Up-and-coming small producers are in the spotlight at this excuse to sample more than 100 drops, with folks making organic, minimal-intervention and biodynamic tipples — and with a focus on sustainability — earning the event's love. These kind of wine fests aren't just an experience to indulge in for a few hours; they're a way to top up your vino knowledge, expand your drinking horizons and discover your next favourite plonk

Sip Happens Festival debuted in 2023, proved a wine-adoring hit and is now returning from 12–5pm on Saturday, August 3 — and, alongside vino, attendees will also be sampling craft beers and spirits.

Your $71.81 ticket includes everything that you're keen to taste, a glass to sip from and a $25 wine voucher for purchases. Opt for the VIP treatment instead for $96.29 and you'll also receive a welcome glass of prosecco, snacks to nibble on and access to the VIP zone.
