Join us at the Cargo Shed for Barrels By the Bay—Tauranga’s first-ever whisky festival.

Whether you're a longtime collector or simply enjoy a well-poured glass, you’ll find plenty to discover—straight from the cask to your glass. Wander, swirl, and sample your way through a curated lineup of standout whiskies, from homegrown craft pours to international classics. Meet the makers, compare notes, and enjoy the kind of whisky conversations that only happen over a good pour.

Your ticket includes samples from all exhibiting brands, plus access to a fully stocked on-site bar serving up your favourite drams and whisky-forward cocktails.

So round up your whisky crew and join us for a laid-back afternoon of flavour and friends. There'll be plenty of space to sit, sip, and enjoy the company of fellow whisky enthusiasts, all on the beautiful Tauranga harbourfront.
