Mark your calendar: the biggest drinks festival in the Netherlands is coming back
Party! In October, the biggest drinks festival of the year, The Art of Drinks, is coming back. Mark the 29th in your calendar, because the Amsterdam Gashouder will once again fill up with drinks.
The Art of Drinks brings the best beers, wines and spirits together under one roof, so if you enjoy a drink, this is the moment to round up your favorite drinking companion(s). It doesn’t matter whether you’re an enthusiastic home bartender, wine connoisseur or happy social drinker; during The Art of Drinks, there is truly an uncountable amount of wonderful things to discover; in total, more than 1,000 different alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are available to taste.
The Art of Drinks program
The full festival program will be announced soon, but whispers are already circulating about a prestigious winery from Bordeaux, a highly exclusive whisky tasting and a Mezcal masterclass. And this year, you can taste a remarkable number of new rums and tequilas at the festival. But this is also the right place to rediscover old familiar drinks: ‘With a remarkable number of single malt whiskies, The Art of Drinks is every bit as good as a whisky festival,’ says organizer Albert van Beeck Calkoen.
Tastings included in the ticket price
You can’t keep drinking on an empty stomach, so there will also be various food stands at the festival grounds. And there will be live music. In short, The Art of Drinks is a wonderful festival for anyone who enjoys a drink. Tickets cost €31 and can be reserved via TAOD. With your ticket, you’ll receive your own tasting glass upon entry. Tasting most of the drinks is included in your admission ticket. The more special wines and drinks can be tasted for a small additional fee.
