Sipafrolic is strictly an 18+ event.

The people behind the Cellar Doors

As a vendor, Sipafrolic presents the unique opportunity to showcase your products and passion, providing an excellent platform to engage personally with new consumers. We want to broaden patrons’ horizons by offering a curated collection of tipples, and highlighting what makes them, and you, unique.

It is all about new experiences, having fun, and meeting the people behind the Cellar Doors! Spirit lovers can bring along their beer/wine friends, and vice versa, to sip their way through what Victoria has to offer!

This is a fantastic opportunity for you to be a part of the Sipafrolic debut!

By joining us at Sipafrolic you have the potential to directly reach 3600 people over four sessions in three days – and be a part of the social media frenzy before, during, and after the event.

Curate a setup that reflects you

You will have full autonomy over your setup, to reflect who you are as a producer. We want you to provide whatever tastings you would like, sell bottles that your company produces, and offer a specialty drink or cocktail if you desire.

Situated at the beautifully historic North Melbourne Meat Market

We understand that these events can be arduous and want to keep you and your staff comfortable and supported throughout the whole Sipafrolic experience. Entry fees will be affordable for vendor and patron alike. We will provide hassle free bump in/out times, on-stand support for you and your team, and direct, simple, succinct communication.

We are looking for a unique mix of boutique gin and single malt whiskey Distillers, craft Brewers, and alternative small vineyard Winemakers

PArtners

Long Ray’s will be the exclusive supplier of Premium Australian mixers throughout the Sipafrolic event and we couldn’t be happier! If you could list ‘happy’ as an ingredient, we believe that’s what you will taste when mixing with Long Ray’s! Infused with natural ingredients for great taste and less sugar, their range puts a refreshing new spin on the classics. They’re basically infused with ‘happy’!
