A boutique gin & spirits festival
One brilliant autumn afternoon in the heart of Stirling
Stirling SpiritFest brings together a carefully chosen line-up of Scottish distillers under the ornate ceilings of the Stirling Highland Hotel: an afternoon of discovery, good pours, and even better company. Gin's the heart of it, but it doesn't stop there: expect rum, vodka, a dram of whisky and other spirits in the mix too.
This is a small event by design. Just 300 tickets in total, intimate enough to actually talk to the people behind the bottles, browse at your own pace, and find something you wouldn't have found anywhere else.
