Grand Tasting
Along with the big players, the Grand Tasting will also highlight artisan, small, and regional distillers. While on your cocktail journey, savour delicious complimentary appetizers from some of the most innovative chefs in Victoria. VIP access allows you to beat the crowds (and the lines) and enter the Grand Tasting an hour before the general public, giving you more one-on-one time with distillers and Brand Ambassadors.
Cocktails Up Close
Get up close & personal with cocktails and spirits, with guided tastings & Masterclasses by industry leaders as you enjoy various drinks and learn the tips and tricks of the trade.
Parties that Pack a Punch
Join highly decorated mixologist and Botanist Gin ambassador Gez McAlpine, as we explore the fundamentals of creating cocktails for large groups. From punches to Sangria, bottled cocktails and everything in between. Learn how serving quality drinks can be the easiest part of entertaining your guests.
Dress to impress in your fabulous after five attire, because this year the Best Dressed at the Grand Tasting will win 4 tickets to the 2018 Victoria Film Festival Opening Gala.

After just coming home today from Victoria….in the rain and by bike, I am ready to do it in style. Love “The Art of Cocktail!”
This would be such an awesome prize right from the start. I have been in BC for 20 years and have yet to travel by float plane! Also, I was truly impressed by an Island distiller recently and had a friend grab me a few bottles of their espresso/cacao bean liqueur to hold me over through the holiday season! I would love the opportunity to try other liquid finery.
