Come see and taste the best whisky the world has to offer
The magazine Le Petit Bulletin co-organizes Lyon’s Beer Festival which, over three years, became France’s biggest event revolving around artisanal beer. Therefore, they decided they would launch their own event for whisky.
Whiskey tastings and more at the first Lyon Whisky Festival
This brand new festival will include tons of activities and entertainment: whisky tastings with around 30 different types of distilleries, master classes, conferences, whisky pairings and workshops for initiation to tasting.
Of course, there will also be a cocktail room, sales, food and even some author signings. Their focus is on discovery: of whiskies produced around the world but also within the Lyonnais territory, which is well-known for being culturally and gastronomically rich.
Lyon Whisky Festival at the Palais de la Bourse on November 24th and 25th
