Sparkling Sydney 2023

It's the most celebratory of all the drinks and there's no better way to enjoy it than waterside — it's sparking wine. If spending a day drinking the fizziest drops of vino in a harbour-front park sounds up your alley, then Sparkling Sydney is the festival for you.

After a few rocky years of weather- and pandemic-related postponements, Sparkling Sydney will return in all of its glory from 11am–5pm on Sunday, November 26 with more than 60 sparkling wines on offer. And, to sweeten the deal, this year entry is free.

If you're all about the bubbly things in life, prepare to be swept away by the city's most effervescent booze fest, descending upon Pirrama Park in Pyrmont.

The 2023 edition of Sparkling Sydney not only gives guests access to myriad sparking wines, but you can also expect free frozen El Jimador margaritas plus stands from Finders Distillery, Small Mouth Vodka and Pickled Bear Seltzer.

Of course, there'll be plenty of top-notch eats to match including Sydney rock oysters, gnocchi, cheese, cured meats and vegan snacks.

If you want to make the most of the festival, you can purchase a tasting package, which includes a wine-tasting glass and five tastings for $37.50.
