Innocent Bystander Pop-Up at Babylon

Overview

From October 10–27, the Yarra Valley-based winery is providing Sydney dwellers with a unique vino experience with some surprising twists. Guests can discover and challenge their expectations around wine on Babylon's stunning rooftop overlooking Sydney's CBD.

"We're thrilled to bring Innocent Bystander to Babylon and offer the opportunity for Sydney to learn what we're about first-hand," Innocent Bystander Brand Manager Andrew Dix says.

This cellar door event will take place over three weekends (Thursday–Sunday), where Innocent Bystander will be shaking up expectations of the traditional wine tasting experience with the addition of a tattoo studio, vinyl DJ performances and long lunches.

The tattoo studio will offer free tattoos on the weekend of October 19-20. Talented artists from The Darling Parlour Tattoo studio in Balmain will create Innocent Bystander-themed flash designs for those brave enough to go under the needle. These ink jobs will be offered from noon and will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

The cellar door will be providing tastings of the entire Innocent Bystander wine range, including a new sparkling watermelon spritz (perfect for the sunny days up ahead). Babylon's menu flawlessly matches the wines. "It's the perfect collaboration – Babylon's authentic Levantine cuisine and the great wines from Innocent Bystander," Angelika Golebiowska, Babylon venue manager, explains.

Guests can up the ante of this winning partnership by booking a long lunch on Saturdays and Sundays. For $79 per person, guests can enjoy two hours of appetising dishes skillfully paired with a curated selection of Innocent Bystander wines.
