Lovely feedback from our previous Bubbles Festivals.

“A lovely two hours being educated in the drinking of bubbles, being able to sample a range of bubbles that you would not normally have access to. Able to speak to the makers who are all passionate about their products. Natalie is extremely knowledgeable about the product and how best to enjoy it. Worth going to." ~Megan Smith

"Great range of champagne and sparkling wines. We had a wonderful time and will be back for the next one. Also recommend the VIP ticket for extra champagne tastings. Thank you Natalie. " ~Leanne Turner

"Great event with a great range of bubbles selected to taste. Natalie does a great job in selecting the wines and and it such an enjoyable event. Would highly recommend." ~Karen Kealy

"An excellent event with a stellar line up of sparkling wines, knowledgeable hosts and exhibitioners. A definite must for those who love the bubbles and for those who want to learn more! Cheers!" ~Mark Whearem

"The Bubbles Festival was well organised and great fun!!! I enjoyed all the bubbles, meet some great people and ordered some sparkling wine at a very reasonable price!! win-win!!" ~Katherine Dolphin

"We are first time attendees and not quite sure what to expect but it was wonderful." ~Bernadette Edmonds

"If you enjoy sparkling drinks, the Bubbles Festival should not be missed. You will have an introduction to the basics of tasting sparkling drinks, spend time learning and asking questions about some amazing drops, while you sip and taste with like minded sparkling drinkers. 2 hours of bubbly enjoyment." ~Lee Justice

"Natalie is an absolute highlight. Her knowledge, personality and passion really make the event pop. The artist is a great addition and well worthwhile having in future. The variety of sparkling, including the sparkling sake is absolutely amazing." ~ Christine Guilfoyle

"We had a fantastic time. If you’ve been thinking about going, don’t hesitate. Great day out and very well run. Can’t wait for next one." ~ Shane Plummer
