The Prosecco Festival 2022
Head to Abbotsford Convent for a sparkling day of local and international prosecco tastings, matched with Italian food and plenty of other fizzy sips.
Overview
Hold onto your hats, because things are about to get fizzy. On Saturday, March 26, The Prosecco Festival returns for its fifth annual edition, transforming Abbotsford Convent into an oasis of effervescence.
Bubbles are set to be the order of the day, as leading prosecco producers from Australia and Italy show off their finest fizz, across two sessions (11am–3pm, 4.30–8.30pm). Your $65 ticket will get you entry, a tote bag and a reusable glass, plus four hours of tastings.
You'll sample over 50 different proseccos from locals like Pizzini, Dal Zotto and Brown Brothers; and Italian labels including Conti d'Arco, Rigoni and Calneggia. Even Kylie Minogue's signature prosecco rosé will be pouring.
Other fizzy delights will include local craft brews, Italian cider and a range of sparkling vino, as well as a bubble-filled menu from the Van Di Vino prosecco van. And an Italian-accented food offering is set to feature bites like arrosticini, Ganzo pizza, Zsa's Bar Bistro & Deli's kingfish crudo and tiramisu, and goodies both sweet and savoury from That's Amore.
Feeling festive? Nab a $120 VIP ticket and you'll also enjoy an additional snack-matched tasting masterclass with The Prosecco Queen.
