Spring will be a sparkling affair in the Adelaide Hills

Head to the Hills for Australia's newest sparkling wine festival: Sparkling Spring.

There will be three days of bubbly celebrations in the Adelaide Hills region from October 21-23.

The inaugural event aims to celebrate the quality sparkling wines produced in Adelaide Hills with a series of tasting experiences at cellar doors over the featured weekend and beyond.

If you are in the mood you can paint an original artwork at Nepenthe’s Bubbles & Brushes, or smell the roses at Karkoo Nursery for Golding’s Bubbles & Blooms. 

Or try the DAOSA Time and Tradition tasting at Tappanappa, a Picnic in the Park at Cobbs Hill or dancing the day away at Howard Vineyard's Blush & Blanc.

Masterclasses will include The Lane's Taste the World of Sparkling and Sidewood's Sparkling vs Champagne. Deviation Road's Discovery and Mount Lofty Ranges' Our Lofty Methode will focus on limited releases. 

One of the highlights is expected to be the Friday Long Lunch prepared by celebrity pan handler Andre Ursini at Deviation Road, while other sit-down affairs include Sidewood's Sparkling Brunch. 

Visitors can enjoy antipasto and pizza at the Italian Stravaganza with Artwine, music and food trucks at Nepenthe's Eats, Beats and Bubbles and finger food at Hesketh’s Sparkling Snack-tacular.

There will also be two city events in Adelaide. 

Croser and Golding will take their joint Effervescence experience to North Adelaide and continue to offer it every day at their cellar doors in Lobethal and Woodside. 

Barrister’s Block, meanwhile, is hosting a sparkling afternoon of High Tea at The Feathers Hotel.
