The Prosecco Festival 2023

Overview

Hold onto your hats because things are about to get fizzy. On Saturday, February 25, The Prosecco Festival returns for its sixth annual edition, transforming Abbotsford Convent into an oasis of effervescence.

Needless to say, bubbles will 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). Tickets start from $65, which gets you entry, a tote bag and a reusable glass, plus four hours of tastings.

You'll sample over 40 different proseccos from locals like Pizzini, Dal Zotto, Brown Brothers and Vino Intrepido; and Italian labels including Babo, Rigoni and Calneggia. Even Kylie Minogue's signature prosecco rosé will be pouring.

Other fizz-related delights will include local craft brews, cider and a range of other sparkling vino, as well as a spritz menu from the Van Di Vino prosecco van. Meanwhile, an Italian-accented food offering is set to feature bites like arrostocini, arancini, Milawa cheese and desserts by The Pav Queen.

Feeling festive? Nab a $120 VIP ticket and you'll also enjoy an additional snack-matched tasting masterclass led by The Prosecco Queen Melissa Brauer.
