Love sipping rosé in the sunshine? Us too! Clear your calendar for Saturday May 1 because there’s a rosé festival coming our way. The inaugural Rosé Coast Gold Coast will take over Kurrawa Beach in Broadbeach for one glorious day of day-drinking and perfect pairings. Brought to life by event producers Kristen Francis (who is behind the award-winning Wine Island, Sydney Harbour), and Margot Natoli (from Sparkling SYDNEY), the event promises to please with a seriously impressive line-up of wines from more than 20 wine-growing regions across Australia including prosecco, sparkling rosé, rosatos and frosé. Not a fan of wine? There will be plenty of beers, ciders and cocktails. To keep those pesky hunger pangs at bar will be a selection of locally sourced produce including cheese and charcuterie platters, freshly shucked oysters, burgers, seafood, Italian, gelato and more, with catering set to pair perfectly with the premium drops of grape juice on offer. There will be beach games, masterclasses, wine tasting, plus plenty more.

Tickets to the inaugural Rosé Coast Gold Coast start at $49, which includes access to general admission areas, including all masterclasses, a glass of rosé from one of the Rosé Coast bars and an exclusive Rosé Coast wine tumbler to take home. If you’re keen to make a day of it, upgrade to the exclusive VIP Beach Club presented by Chaffey Bros. from $139. The VIP ticket includes fast-tracked entry, access to the VIP Beach Club, two glasses of Chaffey Bros. rosé and a meal voucher from one of the gourmet food stalls. For those wanting to really ball-out, spring for a VIP Beach Cabana.
