Rosé Coast Gold Coast, Brisbane

Usually, no one wants to think pink at the beach. Typically, it means you’ve forgotten to slip, slop and slap — and your skin is paying the price. But at the new Rosé Coast Gold Coast festival, those reddish hues will be confined to your wine glass. You’ll still want to protect yourself from the sun’s rays, of course, but you also be celebrating rosy vino in a stunning location.

The first-time festival hits up Kurrawa Beach on Saturday, May 1, with prosecco, sparkling rosé, rosatos and frosé all on the menu from more than 20 Australian wine-growing regions. Although the day focuses on rosé, there will be other beverages available — including red and white wines, gin, cocktails and beer.

So, that’s what you’ll be…
