Overview

Spring has sprung and with it, longer days and sunnier afternoons primed for soaking up some rays with a refreshing drop in hand. If this sounds up your alley, Opera Bar's perfectly pink wine festival Rosé All Day should be top of your must-do list when it returns for ten days in September.

Throughout the festival, the iconic harbourside bar at the nation's most famous building, boasting unbeatable views of the Harbour Bridge, will be thinking and drinking pink. Expect frosé, spritzes, pét-nat, cocktails, and rosé both still and sparkling, with varieties from Big Dreams, Petite Amour, Tar & Roses and Chandon.

There will even be a range of rosé-centric cocktails, like the frozen rosé and honey margarita; the rosé rebellion featuring Campari, sweet vermouth, sparkling rosé, and coconut water; and spring kiss, a blushing blend of rosé, Aperol, St Germain and raspberry liqueur, topped off with soda.

Accompanying all of the pink drinks will be a pink food menu featuring oysters with a rosé mignonette, tuna tartare on prawn crackers with finger lime, and strawberries and cream pavlova. Opera Bar's full menu will also be available to order during the festival. Serenading your every sip, you can expect daily live music performances, DJ sets and a fabulous shimmer squad on weekends.

Tickets to the rosé festival cost $45 per person, and include entry plus three pink drinks for you to claim at any point — any tipples you're tempted by after that will be on your own dime. Prebooking is encouraged, but there will also be a limited number of walk-in tickets available each day of the fest.
