Overview

For one spirited week of libation exploration, Melbourne’s best bars and cocktail specialists are opening their doors for you to learn the ins and outs of cocktail making.

For whisky lovers, there’s Whisky Versatility, where you'll navigate the many intricacies of single malt whisky — and the best food to pair with it. Bartenders at the Black Pearl will be joined by ex-Hammer and Tong 412 chef Madeline Watmuff to create the ultimate evening for whisky lovers.

For those looking to brush up on the classics, there's the Taste Of The Classics at Eau de Vie. Explore the history of cocktails through eight signature cocktails, each unique and influential in its own right. We should note that this is a tasting session, rather than a how-to class, so you’ll get to sample the goods and understand how these cocktails came to earn their 'classic' status.

These are just two of the many cocktail-focused events happening throughout this delicious, delicious week. For more information on where you can gain a deeper appreciation of your favourite Tom Collins or Penicillin (or perhaps you'll find a new go-to), head to the World Class Cocktail Week website for further details.
