The 10th Annual Whiskies of the World Expo and Artisanal Spirits Fest features the gathering of the world’s most fascinating distilled spirits along with  their makers and ambassadors all designed to allow our attending audience an opportunity to sample, learn and experience a night of delicious spirited fun!

The WoW Expo offers 3 full ballroom sized floors filled with sampling booths, staffed by spirits experts ranging from distillers to brand ambassadors, blenders, distillery owners, managers and the creators of some of the most creative artisanal spirits on the market today.

Spend your evening tasting and learning while you enjoy the beauty of the San Francisco Bay harbour from the comfort of the docked San Francisco Belle. Enjoy our top deck Pipe and Band Concert with the award winning Bushmill’s Piper band; sample fine cigars or bring your own and relax on the top deck as the sun drops over the Bay; immerse yourself in our new experiential 'meet the makers' sampling areas; take a break from the hundreds of available spirits on sample to sit and enjoy our sumptuous buffet dinner…and so much more.

After 10 years in San Francisco, the Expo continues it’s journey as the premier spirits celebration, always adding new and exciting detail to the evening and making sure this is the event of the year!

This year, as we combine the Artisanal Spirits Fest with the Whiskies of the World Expo, we keep you on the cutting edge of what is happening in the world of superior distilled spirits. Sample creations never before poured at a spirits event and meet the brilliant minds (and noses) behind these brands. Learn, celebrate, experience!! It’s a night you’ll never forget with a group of whiskies and artisanal distilled spirits exhibited together ...something no other spirits show can bring to you!

The evening's ticket price includes all show sampling, a full buffet dinner; meeting and learning from the world's spirits producers; creators and experts; a live Pipe and Drum Concert on the top deck as the sun sinks into the Bay; fine cigars and cigar experts to help you enjoy their great brands; celtic craft booths, artisanal food booths for pairings with our array of fine spirits; live celtic music all night long and more!! Come see why people have been returning to the Whiskies of the World Expo year after year and how the Expo has become the flagship show for west coast fine distilled spirits.
