Whisky Galore's DramFest 2025

Whisky Galore's DramFest 2025  

We look forward to welcoming you to DramFest 2025, New Zealand's largest whisky education and tasting festival. Our 9th festival will take place over 3 days at the Te Pae Christchurch Convention and Exhibition Centre on Friday 28th February (4pm-8pm), Saturday 1st and Sunday the 2nd of March (1pm-6pm) 2025.

We will have over 350 whiskies and dark spirits available to sample over the weekend from an array of world-renowned distilleries and independent bottlers.

DramFest is also unique opportunity to meet with overseas and local whisky experts including distillers, owners and brand ambassadors attending the event - these visiting experts are for many the highlight of the event, offering the chance to interact with those who are directly involved with the creation, selection and promotion of some of the whiskies on offer.

We are also hosting the DramFest Forums over the course of the weekend. These are hosted by whisky legend, Dave Broom who leads panels of visiting experts through Q&A sessions based on their experience and knowledge within the industry. These are an excellent opportunity to get unheard insights and the juicy details from our experts about the industry and their roles within it.

Your ticket will include:

- a DramFest etched Glencairn whisky nosing glass, lanyard, pen and official event programme
- a range of whisky and dark spirit samples
- the opportunity to attend the DramFest Spirit Forums 

IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE:

- Tickets are valid for one day. To attend multiple days, additional tickets must be purchased. 

- Please note that by purchasing a ticket to this event, you are adhering to the ticket T&C's as outlined on the DramFest website.

- The Friday event is one hour shorter than the Saturday and Sunday, but will have restricted numbers for a quieter event. This allows those who find busy events stressful, the opportunity for more space and easier access to stands, samples and to interact with visiting experts.**

We look forward to welcoming you to DramFest 2025!
