Amazing masterclasses to choose from...
Are you interested in a helping of whisky masterclass by Australia’s Whisky superstar Bill Lark or maybe an all-American cocktail masterclass with the legendary Buffalo Trace? Or maybe a taste through the World of Gin from Japan, Italy and Germany sparks your interest? Or do you yearn to dive into a Spanish and Italian vermouth class – how do they compare?
Did you know that negroni matches best with spicy Salami? Why not ask Ester’s head distiller Felix Clark.
Bourbon, Whisky, Gin, Vermouth and Negroni masterclasses available now. Each class attracts an extra $40 cost and there are only 40 tickets per class.

Festival of Taste
The venue will be set up to be a giant taste theatre. The distillers and chefs have been encouraged to unleash their inner spirit and dress up for the festival, think safari suits and big wigs, Mexican sombreros and velvet suits… the festival is all about having fun and trying something new. The event is being held in the Customs Hall at the Overseas Passenger Terminal in Circular Quay.
The masterclasses are two minutes away on the Mezzanine floor below. Class numbers are limited.
