Saturday 9 November

Good news, this year, you can purchase all your Josef Chromy festival tickets in the one go, including return bus tickets from Launceston.

Event partner festival tickets will need to be purchased separately.

Gala Dinner and VIP Experiences

Every year, we kick off the festival with our black tie gala dinner. With tables hosted by our wineries, there are a very small number of tickets available to the public. Best be quick!

This year’s Effervescence will welcome award-winning wine journalist and presenter Cassandra Charlick as Effervescence Ambassador who will host the new Effervescence VIP Experience.

This new premium package includes an exclusive brunch event ahead of early access to the Grand Tasting and exclusive access to the VIP pavilion.

Afterwards, guests will enjoy a two-course lunch at the Josef Chromy Restaurant, followed by an in-depth tasting of sparklings from around the world at the International Masterclass hosted by senior sparkling winemaker Loic le Calvez and acclaimed wine writer Huon Hooke.

Tickets for the new VIP Experience are very limited.

*A note on booking fees.

This year we have moved to the Humanitix platform, which turns those annoying booking fees into a force for good. All profits generated by these fees are directed to charities that provide humans across the world with life’s basic necessities. We think that’s a movement worth raising a glass to!
