Everyone’s favourite island is making a return this summer, with new dates just announced for March 18 – 20, 2022.

Once again, the festival will take place on Clark Island, a pristine pocket of pinot-sipping paradise, just a 10-minute boat ride from Sydney’s Circular Quay. All guests will be transported to the island via the Fever-Tree Ferry which comes with a free cocktail to get the party started.

Once ashore, there will be wine stalls to explore, as well as a Pinot & Picasso art class, a silent vino disco, Archie Rose gin sessions, talks, masterclasses, music, games, and more.

Start by sipping your way around the wine stalls, which include drops by local and international producers, including Chateau Tanunda, Dal Zotto, Hungerford Hill, Kirrihill Wines, Nepenthe, Thomas Wines, Tulloch Wines, Rosabelle, Silent Noise and Winmark Wines, to name a few.

If you need to take a break from the vino (just a short one, obviously) you’ll be able to get your hands on sundowners in the 4 Pines Beer Garden, G&Ts from the Archie Rose Gin Bar and summer spritzers from the Fever-Tree Island Spritz Bar.

You’ll also be able to line your stomach with snacks from Olio Kensington Street, Joey’s Lobsters and BL Burgers, or settle in with a dozen oysters or a cheese platter in the sun.

It’s also worth noting that Wine Island, being the tiny island that it is, only holds a very limited amount of guests per session, so you don’t have to worry about it being super crowded.

Tickets to Wine Island start at $109, which includes return transfers from King Street Wharf, five wine tastings, a masterclass and vino disco. Pre-sale tickets go on sale Monday, October 25 at 12pm AEDT, with general release tickets available on Wednesday, October 27 at 12pm AEDT.
