At Urban List, we firmly believe that sipping good wine with good company is one of life's simplest pleasures.
There's no better way to spend a sun-soaked arvo in Brissy than with your favourite drop and a smorgasbord of treats—so don’t sleep on this year’s return of Providore Park to Roma Street Parkland.
Taking place from Saturday 13 July to Sunday 14 July, this picnic pop-up is the perfect excuse to dust off that blanket and grab the crew for a weekend of artisan food and drink. Plus, did we mention that entry is free?
Explore Locally Loved Eats And Crisp Drinks
Upon arrival at the idyllic Providore Park, make your way to The Village—also known as a haven for all food lovers. Expect gourmet bites and bevvies from local restaurants and producers who love a chat about their craft.
As you mosey your way through the stalls of the country's best when it comes to all things cheese, chocolate, antipasti, seafood, pastries, and more you'll likely work up a bit of a thirst. Make the most of the variety of flavors on offer—find yourself a palate cleanser from the wide selection of wines, cocktails, beers, and all things alcohol-free on offer and then continue munching.
Soak Up The Sun With Live Entertainment
Once you've satisfied the stomach, find a sunny seat on Celebration Lawn and nurse your impending food coma with an afternoon of live tunes. Whether you're in your slow jazz era or love an acoustic rendition of a '90s classic, there's a range of bops to please all listener preferences. Those who find themselves in the mood for a boogie, be sure to dance the day away as the DJ works the decks at the Stone & Wood Garden Bar.
Perfect Your Picnic Spread With The Pros
Although entry to Providore Park is free, if you're in the mood for taking the perfect picnic to that next level there are also ticketed extras available that you won’t regret signing up for. We recommend booking a spot in one of the Conservatory's masterclass sessions. Here you'll soak up all tips and tricks when it comes to creating the perfect food and drink pairings. Talk about a surefire way to ensure your next dinner party earns you the title of top hostess for a while to follow.
With many other ways to elevate your day of decadence, from earning your VIP status in the private lounge equipped with gift bags, bubbles, a bar, and views of the main stage, Providore Park is exactly where you’ll want to be to soak up the glorious Queensland sun this winter.
