Got a weakness for whisky? A love of liqueurs? Or a taste for tequila? Whatever your tipple of choice, you can sample all sorts of flavours and creative creations at the Sydney Spirits Festival from 10 – 12 of May.

Featuring no less than 148 different brands of whisky, gin, soju, schnapps, rum, agave, vodka, vermouth, grappa, tequila, liqueurs, and fortified wines, it’s Australia’s largest and most diverse spirits festival. From boutique distillers to international award-winners, there will be plenty to keep you entertained here!

Explore at your own pace over a three-hour tasting session. All samples are included in the ticket price and there will be all sorts of delicious food available for purchase if you want (or need) some sustenance between sips.

If you want to get stuck in and learn from the pros, you can also upgrade your ticket to include masterclasses with industry legends.
