Sparkling Sydney 2022

Overview

Update Monday, March 7: Sparkling Sydney has been postponed after unprecedented rainfall has meant Pirrama Park Pyrmont is expected to be unaccessible. The event will now be held on Saturday, April 30. This article has been updated to reflect this.

Sipping sparkling might be a pivotal part of your pandemic routine, but nothing has felt particularly bubbly over the past few years. Here's one easy way to change that in 2022: spending a day drinking the fizziest wines possible in a harbourside park.

After being forced to postpone its 2020 and 2021 events multiple times due to COVID-19, plus postponing its 2022 event due to severe weather, Sparkling Sydney will finally return from 11am–6pm on Saturday, April 30 with more than 60 sparkling wines from 20 local regional wineries. If you're all about the bubbly things in life, prepare to be swept away by the city's most effervescent booze fest, which'll descend upon Pirrama Park in Pyrmont.

Once again, the 2022 edition of Sparkling Sydney is set to deliver a jam-packed day of gourmet food and fizzy fun — although this time around it'll be ticketed, starting at $29 for pre-sales and hitting $39 for general sales. Varieties on offer will include blanc de blanc, petit verdot and moscato, sparkling malbec, pinot noir, pinot meunier, sparkling rosé, verscato, prosecco, sparkling zibbibo, and zinfandel shiraz. No, you won't be short on options.

Of course, there'll be plenty of top-notch eats to match — and other tipples, if you'd like to knock back Six String Brewing Co beers, Brix Distillery spiced rum cocktails, sparkling spritzes and non-alcoholic sparkling vinos, too.

The Sparkling Sydney lineup also spans wine and oyster matching sessions, sparkling wine bath soaks, and a lineup of live music and DJs, including the Crawfish Po'Boys, Electro Alley, Spyglass, and DJs Kate Monroe and Charlie Villas.

Sparkling Sydney runs from 11am–5pm.
