The Victoria Whisky Festival returns from January 15 to 18, 2026, at the elegant Hotel Grand Pacific in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Located steps from Victoria’s Inner Harbour, this landmark venue offers sweeping views and convenient access to historic destinations. Nearby, guests can explore the stately British Columbia Parliament Buildings, the iconic Fairmont Empress Hotel, and the scenic Royal BC Museum. The festival’s organizing team partners closely with global distillers, importers, and local distributors to deliver a refined tasting experience in one of Canada’s most beautiful cities.

Since its inaugural edition in 2006, the Victoria Whisky Festival has grown into one of North America’s premier spirits gatherings. Each year, the event showcases a wide spectrum of whiskies—from Scotland, Ireland, Japan, Canada, and the U.S.—alongside independent bottlers and emerging craft producers. The program features masterclasses, guided tastings, and expert-led educational seminars. Attendees engage with brand ambassadors, distillers, and blending specialists in a focused setting designed for discovery and dialogue. Many sessions emphasize innovation, terroir, and craftsmanship within the evolving global whisky landscape.

For producers and distributors seeking strong market exposure in Western Canada, the festival offers both prestige and access. Business professionals attend alongside passionate consumers, offering brands a rare chance to connect across audiences. Each session maintains a balanced atmosphere—knowledgeable yet welcoming, premium yet inclusive. The Victoria Whisky Festival 2026 stands as a hybrid event, ideal for both trade and public audiences. Serious buyers and curious connoisseurs gather to celebrate whisky culture in a city known for tradition, elegance, and taste.
