Rosé Festival by City Winery 2024

Overview

There's one thing that all wine festivals have in common: vino, and plenty of it. But this returning rosé fest hosted by Brisbane's inner-city winery adds something extra to the mix. When it hits up its home base on Sunday, February 4, 2024 after previously popping up at The Tivoli, on King Street and at Westoria, the event's attendees will be able to help make rosé between knocking back glasses of the pink stuff.

At Rosé Festival by City Winery, stomping and pressing grapes is one of the big attractions. And, the results of all that jumping up and down are usually bottled for the company's rosé release for the year, too. So, down the track, you'll be able to grab one, add it to your wine rack and know that you had a hand — or two feet — in making it.

If you'd rather just sip the rosés already on offer, that's obviously also part of the festival, which is taking a more intimate approach in 2024. So, instead of a sprawling event, this is a limited-edition affair. Tickets cost $150, which includes a drinks package, bites to eat and learning more than you ever thought you needed to know about rosé.

City Winery winemaker Dave Cush will lead a blending workshop as well — and everyone gets to take home a bottle that you create in the class.
