Sparkling Fest
The annual Sparkling Fest is back again for 2021, with an exciting series of events on offer to showcase sparkling wine and champagne.
The National Wine Centre is set to add a sparkle to October with a month-long Festival of events acknowledging those most coveted celebratory beverages – sparkling wines and champagne with its annual Sparkling Fest. The best of the best from Australia and France will be celebrated across the month commencing with a series of Sparkling and Champagne masterclasses that are designed to at once indulge and educate.
