Effervescence Tasmania is back from 5-7 November in Launceston where Tasmania’s best sparkling wine producers will showcase their bubbles. Events include tastings, a celebration of disco, masterclasses, an afternoon of comedy and dinners.
The weekend celebration of Tasmanian sparkling wine kicks off with dinners at Josef Chromy Wines and at Timbre on Friday night (both sold out) before broader tasting events over the next two days.

But the festivities don’t end at the end of The Grand Tasting. Bubbles & Beats celebrates disco so you can dance the evening away!
