You can also sit back at the Spritz Garden bar, which will be serving up drinks from mobile spritz bar Van di Vino. Aperol Spritz anyone?

Don’t worry if you work up a thirst while tasting all those bubbles, the Prosecco Festival has you covered with famous Melbourne cheese masters Milk the Cow serving up specially created cheese boards from more than 180 cheeses, designed to match and enhance your prosecco.
