A bottle of Solara Prosecco or Chardonnay Pinot Noir is a great way to live with fizz. But it’s not just about the beverage – and as we’ve said many times - we think fizz is a state of mind.
An excellent way to get that feeling? Trying something different, meeting new people, and collecting stories to share over your next bottle of bubbles.
We’ve been checking out Eventbrite to see what’s happening around Australia in January. From the mind and body reset to a stand-up laughfest, here are our top picks for a fizzy start to your year.
