The first signs of spring have arrived. The smell of jasmine in the air. Cicadas chirping at sunset. And the girlies are on the rosé. Opera Bar’s annual Rosé All Day Festival is back and we’re ready to paint the town pink. From September 6, the peachy party will be a paradise of rosé wines, frozen rosé margaritas, and rosé-themed snacks.

A chilled glass of rosé in hand and a backdrop of sparkling Sydney Harbour? We can’t think of a better way to while away an afternoon (or two).

Tickets include your choice of any three drinks from the rosé menu of still and sparkling rosé, rosé cocktails like the frozen rosé and honey margarita; rosé rebellion (Campari, sweet vermouth, sparkling rosé, and coconut water); and spring kiss (rosé, Aperol, St Germain, raspberry liqueur, topped with soda).

You can keep it classic with the eternally popular frosé and a rosé spritz on offer, or pop bottles of Moet & Chandon Rose Champagne for $99 each.

Staying in theme, there are several snack items with a pink hue too. Sydney rock oysters dressed with rosé mignonette; blushing pink tuna tartare on prawn crackers with finger lime; and strawberries and cream pavlova. Opera Bar’s full menu will also be available to order during the festival.

Rosé All Day Festival runs from September 6-15, 11am-late at Opera Bar, Bennelong Point. Tickets are $45 and can be booked at the Opera Bar website here.
