The Prosecco Festival returns after two sell out seasons – offering up an exclusive affair for the aficionados of fine Italian sparkling wine & cuisine.

With over 45 different Proseccos from Italy and Australia to try, there’s one to suit every palate! For the Prosecco-connoisseurs who are craving more, VIP tickets are available for each session.

This golden ticket will get you a 45 minute Masterclass along with access to the VIP balcony and experiences.

It wouldn’t be a true Italian festa without a feast!

The venue will be packed with Prosecco-pairing foods including:

traditional Neapolitan pizza from award-winning 400 Gradi;

bite-sized arancini from Arancini Art;

Prosecco salami from The Meat Room;

Prosecco-infused Gelato from Zero Gradi; and

Prosecco-flavoured cannoli from Eat Cannoli – with plenty of gluten free and vegan options for all.
