Australia's biggest wine festival, Pinot Palooza pops up in Brisbane this 13-15 October. 

Now in its eleventh year, Pinot Palooza brings its beloved Pinot Noir party to Brisbane's Showgrounds this springtime. 

Over 50 winemakers are set to showcase a huge array of Pinot Noir. From organic and biodynamic, to vegan and low-intervention wines. 

This lineup of Pinot producers from Australia, New Zealand and beyond is paired with a smattering of music acts and food producers. Wine pairings include cheese, salumi, terrines, olives and more from the likes of Tasmania's Gandvewe Cheese, Goose on the Loose Salumi and Ugly Duck Fine Foods. 

Tens of thousands of people with a penchant for Pinot have attended the event across the globe since its inception in 2012 providing a unique travelling cellar door experience in every city.

Festival organiser, Dan Sims, of Revel and Pinot Palooza, says “We’re delighted to be back on our Springtime tour after the disruptions of the past few years. After an epic ten year anniversary celebration in 2022 that saw over 12,000 people attend across the country, we are dying to get back on the road and showcase more innovation from the best Pinot Noir producers from Australia, New Zealand and beyond.”
