Various Sydney venues, Sydney
It’s a festival that’s taking place right at your doorstep. And there’s wine. Lots of wine. Clear your social calendar for the next couple of months Sydneysiders - the grapes are coming to you. The swirling, sniffing and sipping kicks off with Sydney Cellar Door (Feb 25-26) at Hyde Park. This a weekend-long outdoor event that brings together the best drops from 90 wineries across 14 regions in NSW. To stop you from falling over after the first lot of tastings, there’s a large array of tasty snacks on offer from 25 of Sydney’s culinary hotspots and from regional sellers. Once you’re done trawling, kick back on the grass and sway along to live jazz, blues and reggae in a blissful pinot noir haze.

Tropfest Short Film Festival 2012
Sun, 19 Feb, 2012
The Domain, Sydney
Tropfest is the bee's knees of short film festivals. The largest in the world, in fact. Coming into its 20th year, Tropfest seems a far cry from its humble beginnings as an informal film screening hosted by Tropicana Café, with actor and director John Polson at the reins. From among 700 annual entries, only 16 are chosen. The 2012 finalists have adapted this year’s signature theme ‘Light Bulb’ to suit their ends. Expect to witness anything from a police interrogation of a clown, a clairvoyant photo booth, to the politics of the light refreshment business. Best of all, this event is FREE. ZERO. ZILCH. Tropfest screens in the picturesque surrounds of the Botanic Gardens, and showcases food stalls, bars and live music.
