Innocent Bystander opens pop-up urban cellar door at Babylon
Award-winning winery – Innocent Bystander – is coming to Sydney, opening a pop-up urban cellar door at Babylon, one of the city’s premier CBD venues.
From 10 to 27 October 2024, Sydneysiders will be introduced to the iconic Yarra Valley winery and experience wine in a whole new light.
The takeover will redefine traditional tasting experiences with innovative and immersive encounters that will surprise and delight and challenge expectations around wine. Guests can discover the range at the Innocent Bystander tasting bar, created within Babylon’s beautiful CBD rooftop location.
During the urban cellar door takeover to take place across three weekends (Thursdays to Sundays), Innocent Bystander will bring Babylon to life with a pop-up tattoo studio, performances including vinyl DJs and fabulous long lunches, creating an immersive experience that celebrates the interaction between the bright, social world of Innocent Bystander and the more serious traditions of the wine world.
The Innocent Bystander pop-up tattoo studio will offer free tattoos across the weekend of 19-20 October, with acclaimed artists from The Darling Parlour Tattoo Studio creating a range of Innocent Bystander-inspired designs. Tattoos will be offered from noon on each day and will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
The urban cellar door will be offering tastings of the full range of Innocent Bystander wines – including the first release of the brand-new Watermelon Spritz – while the Babylon menu will also feature a seamless integration of Innocent Bystander wines.
Join Innocent Bystander at Babylon for long lunches on Saturdays and Sundays, where guests can enjoy two hours of delicious dishes paired with an extensive selection of Innocent Bystander wines for just $79 per person. Select from three sitting times each day: noon, 1pm, or 2pm.
Babylon’s prime location in the heart of Sydney CBD sets the stage for an unforgettable journey into Innocent Bystander’s world of wine.
“We’re thrilled to bring Innocent Bystander to Babylon and offer the opportunity for Sydney to learn what we’re about first-hand,” Innocent Bystander Brand Manager Andrew Dix says.
“Our aim is to create an incredible shared experience that transcends convention and sparks joy. Come play with us at Babylon to see what all the fuss is about.”
