The Fun Stuff β drinking & learning
How does the tasting thing work?
Walk up to any booth, smile, and they'll pour you something delicious. Repeat until you've found your new favourite β or until you've made questionable purchasing decisions.
Can I actually buy bottles?
Absolutely! Our SIP Shop is an online store where you can buy everything you just tasted. Your future thirsty self will thank you.
Do I need to sign up for masterclasses?
It depends which session you're attending. The daytime trade masterclasses are a purchased ticket, while the evening visitor sessions are first come, first served.

About that whole "responsible drinking" thingβ¦
Look, we're all adults here. Pace yourself, drink water (we've got stations everywhere), and have a plan to get home that doesn't involve your car keys. Your liver and your Uber driver will thank you.
