The Prosecco Festival 2026

Abbotsford Convent, Melbourne — Saturday 28 February 2026

If bubbles were a personality type, this would be that friend — the one who shows up with great energy, great tunes, and great intentions. The Prosecco Festival returns to Abbotsford Convent for its ninth year of effervescent chaos and cultured sipping.

Whether you’re a seasoned fizz fiend or just someone who enjoys sparkling things and good times, this is the place to be. Two sessions mean twice the chance to wander, sample, chat with growers, swap stories with makers and importers, and find your next favourite bottle — including over 50 different Proseccos from both Italian and Australian producers.

Sessions

• Session One: 11:00 am – 3:00 pm
• Session Two: 4:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Each ticket gets you:
• A beautiful tulip-shaped tasting glass to keep
• Festival program
• A tote bag big enough for a couple of bottles on the way home
• Tastings of all Prosecco on show — natch

What’s On

• Meet the makers and importers pouring their bubbles
• Sip Italian classics and Aussie fizz alike (including us — 👋)
• Wines by the glass, craft beer, Aperol spritzes and more
• Delicious Italian and local food vendors to keep you going

VIP tickets go deeper with an expert-led Prosecco Masterclass hosted by The Prosecco Queen herself — four different styles paired with antipasto and cheese, plus a spritz on arrival.

The Vibe

Think lush lawns, clinking glasses, easygoing conversations and shared laughs. It’s everything you love about bubbles, served up with good music and a bit of Melbourne magic.

Heads up: This is an adult-only event (no kids or pets in tasting areas) and tickets are known to sell out.
