DRNKS and The Wine Bar at The International Present: ‘LOOSE LIPS’

A celebration of wine, good food, and tunes in the heart of the city this Easter Saturday!

Renowned purveyor of all things natural wine, and the man behind the beloved wine event Huge Moves and retailer DRNKS, Joel Amos, is teaming up with The Wine Bar's own Alex Kirkwood and Jacq Turner to bring you Loose Lips.

Amos, Kirkwood and Turner have hand-picked a stellar line-up of 30+ winemakers and importers, including over 100 wines on taste, to create the ultimate cellar door experience in the heart of the CBD. With no shortage of great wines to try and new favourites to find, there will also be a pop-up bottle shop where you can snap up a few of your favourite drops to take home.

To fuel the festivities, guest chef Mitch Orr will be taking over The Wine Bar's pizza oven, slinging his signature pizzas and snacks all day long. You won't want to miss the opportunity to experience Orr's genre-defying approach to Italian cuisine in all its bold, unexpected, and delicious glory, perfectly paired with a selection of top-tier wines.

It wouldn't be a Loose Lips event without killer tunes soundtracking the afternoon and into the evening. DJs Ed Loveday and Veda will warm things up downstairs, while DJ Levins & Friends have you covered for a night of back-to-back sets upstairs at The Panorama Bar, for the FREE Loose Lips after party!

Says Joel Amos, "Loose Lips has always been about bringing people together over amazing wine, and The Wine Bar at The International, smack bang in the heart of Sydney, is the perfect place to do just that. Alex and his team have built something truly special here, and we’re excited to make this one of our biggest and best editions yet."

Adds Alex Kirkwood, "We've designed The Wine Bar as a welcoming space for both passionate wine lovers and newcomers alike. Partnering with Joel for Loose Lips is a great opportunity to strengthen our community and create a space to drink great wines in the CBD. We’re looking forward to an unforgettable party."

The price of entry is $45+BF which includes unlimited tasting of all wines on offer and entry to the afterparty in The Panorama Bar.
