Tasting Gallery

The journey begins in a curated corridor of non-alcoholic spirits, ready to drink and bitters brands who will invite you to sip, savor, and explore.

Wellness Sanctuary

A tranquil pause in the festival offering light activations, discovery of wellness products and a moment to breathe.

Food Hall

Delight in a culinary pairing experience with creations from top restaurants and chefs paired with your favorite AF drinks. Last year, we had Spring Cafe Aspen, The Butcher's Daughter, Adoro Lei and Seatopia.

Alcohol-Free Wine Salon

Taste a curated selection of sparkling and AF wines and explore how craftsmanship, terroir, and innovation are redefining what alcohol-free wine can be.

Rhythms Lounge

When you are ready to unwind and let the beat move you, go downstairs into the Rhythms Lounge. We invite you to leave your phones behind, dance like it's the 90's and sip AF drinks like no one is watching.

Mixology Lab

An intimate, hands-on experience designed for curious drinkers and industry insiders alike. The Mixology Lab hosts small-format classes for up to 25 guests, blending cocktail making, guided vertical tastings, and expert-led education - equal parts informative and fun.
