If you have a penchant for a drop of red and a power ballad all at once, turn your attention to Pinot Palooza. The annual celebration of red is back again, sweeping across Australia and New Zealand in a haze of booze and bands.

After a sell-out season in 2016, the festival has announced new destinations as a part of its tour for this year. Events have already been held in Perth, Adelaide and Christchurch. Yet to come is Melbourne (October 7), Sydney (October 8), Brisbane (October 14-15), and Wellington (January 2018), as well as an appearance in Singapore in November.

Behind the event is Bottle Shop Concepts who also host the popular Game of Rhones. Company director Dan Sims predicts big things for this year’s festivities.”2017 is a game-changing year for Pinot Palooza,” he says. “It’s the biggest of all the events we’re running this year, and the biggest Palooza in its history. Not only are we expanding to include more cities in New Zealand, with Wellington and Christchurch added to the bill, we’re taking it to Singapore late November. So the question is, where will you Pinot?”

Asa to what exactly you will be drinking, pinot noir from more than 100 of Australia and New Zealand’s best producers will feature for 2017. This will include the likes of Curly Flat (Macedon), Josef Chromy (Tasmania), Stefano Lubiana (Tasmania), Dog Point (Fairhall, NZ) and Pegasus Bay (Waipara, NZ).

Of course drinking on an empty stomach is never a good idea, so food will be provided by eateries that include Yarra Valley Dairy, the Porteno group, Blackbird, Epocha, Fromage Artisans, and Maker & Monger. Non-vino drink options will also be available, from Sample Brewing, Young Henry’s, Stone & Wood, among others.

Tickets to Pinot Palooza are now available for purchase online.
