For the first time in 7 years, The Grand Tasting Hall (GTH) will be in a new location! Since the inception of the festival 16 years ago, management has constantly had to move it from one location to another to accommodate the growing demand for tickets from whisky and beer connoisseurs. This year is no different! It is SO exciting to announce that the GTH will be held on Friday November 16th and Saturday November 17th at The PNE Forum. As a result of the location change, we are able to bring in more exhibitors, more products, more whiskies, and more people. This is going to be the best festival in all of its 16 year history! GET EXCITED. There will be over 65 booths and more than 250 products to taste. Read that last sentence again!

Scotch, Whisky, and Premium Beer continue to anchor the main event in The Grand Tasting Hall and for the fifth year, we'll be including a select number of delicious premium spirits including Vodkas, Rums, Tequilas, Gins, etc...

Go booth to booth and sample your way around the world.

Tasting Tokens

Tasting tokens are the only form of currency in the Grand Tasting Hall market. The first five tokens for your Grand Tasting Experience are included with your purchased ticket. Within steps of you walking inside, you will be given your free pouch of tokens. Additional tokens can be purchased for $1.00 at the Tasting Token booths. The price of each sample in the Grand Tasting Hall is based on the retail value of the bottle being poured.
