The Drink Show is a premium NSW tasting and discovery experience bringing together outstanding NSW wines, craft spirits, independent breweries and modern drinks - including sophisticated low- and no-alcohol options - all under one roof for a limited time.

This is your opportunity to taste across dozens of brands in one session, meet the makers behind the labels, uncover new and limited releases, and access event-only purchasing opportunities not typically available in bottle shops.

Designed for curious and engaged drinks lovers, collectors, buyers and hospitality professionals, the Show is immersive, flavour-driven and intentionally capped to ensure quality interaction - not overcrowded festival chaos.

Tickets are limited. Once sessions reach capacity, they close.

If you love discovering what’s next in NSW drinks, this is where you’ll find it.
