Howard Park Global Sparkling Tasting 2026

Creating sparkling wine requires precision, technique and patience — a discipline that demands unwavering diligence in both the vineyard and the cellar, and one that has captivated winemakers and wine lovers for generations.

The Howard Park Global Sparkling Tasting is an unabashed celebration of this art and craft. Now in its fifth edition under the stewardship of Chief Winemaker Nic Bowen, the event is established one of Australia's most respected and anticipated sparkling events.

As a valued Wine Club member, you are invited to participate in a comprehensive blind tasting featuring more than 20 exceptional sparkling wines sourced from some of the world's most celebrated, and possibly unexpected, wine regions. From iconic benchmarks to highly sought-after bottles seldom seen in Australia, the wines have been carefully curated to challenge perceptions, inspire conversation and highlight the extraordinary diversity of sparkling wine.

We have reserved an exclusive allocation of just ten tickets for Wine Club members, an opportunity to join winemakers, sommeliers, industry leaders and international wine media as the event sets the tone for a long weekend of world-class food and wine experiences included in the 2026 Pair’d festival.

This is more than a tasting. It is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of one of the world's most compelling wine styles, challenge your assumptions and discover new favourites alongside some of the industry's most experienced palates.

Tickets are $395 per person; however you can use the code HPGST26 at checkout to receive a member-only 10% discount during our 48-hour presale. Secure your place early, this extraordinary opportunity will disappear quickly.

We can’t wait to host you for this unforgettable sparkling wine experience in November.
