Whisky Festival North Netherlands
March 2023 will see the 16th edition of Whisky Festival North Netherlands! With countless kinds of whisky and live music, this is a superb event in Groningen for the whisky-loving expats among us - not for the faint-hearted.
A world of fine whisky in Groningen
This three-day event is a must for anyone who has even a passing interest in the glorious drink because some of the world’s top whisky distilleries will be exhibiting and selling their spirits in the beautiful Sugar Groningen. Experience a whisky connoisseur's heaven at this special festival.
More than 30 stalls, workshops and tasting sessions will welcome you to the world of whisky, accompanied by atmospheric music! Most brands on display will be available to buy, with a lot more variety than what you might come across in Dutch bars and cafes. Guests are free to wander through the stalls and soak up the atmosphere.
The Whisky Festival North Netherlands programme
At a typical Whisky Festival North Netherlands session, you can take part in a tasting masterclass. Smell and taste the different whiskies at various stalls, from classic favourites to the more luxury brands. Follow a tasting tour through the church and gather extensive info and explanations about the featured beverages.
Browse stalls that offer whisky-themed products, books and magazines. There are also whisky and food combinations available for those who want to try the Whisky Dinner or the Whisky Lunch, where your taste buds will be treated to unbelievable combinations.
