14th March, wineries all over New South Wales arrived in Hyde Park, Sydney, in an effort to get the locals to support local wines. 14th March, 11am, Elise and Heidi arrived in Hyde Park, Sydney, in hopes that we'd find some nice Riesling, Muscato and Port to go with our lovely pastries.
The entrances is free. If you want to taste the wines, you'd have to purchase the coupons ($4 for one shot). We got the one-for-one special, where for $30, you get 5 X 30mls tastings and one plastic wine glass each for two people.

You see, Elise and I have very little tolerance for alcohol. Yet, we had the nerve to attend a wine fair. We took our chances with the wines, avoiding most of the reds (unless it is port) and dry whites if we could recognize it. There were a few times where we had to discreetly pour our wines into the bushes... Our perseverance paid off, we did find an excellent Riesling (McGuigan) and a lovely sparkling muscato (Capercaillie), the search for port was fruitless, sadly.
Food stalls from some very good restaurants featuring chi-chi food for chi-chi prices. I got an olive bread from Sonoma for $5.
We went to a less crowded area to enjoy lunch by the water. See that memorial style building? A word of caution (impressed upon me by a well-meaning friend): Don't go in there at night unless you want to get pregnant.
Most popular food stall: Gozleme, cheese, lamb, spinach and chilli, $9.
Toby's Coffee! $3.
End.
