Whisky Galore Tastings & Events
Upcoming Whisky Tastings & Events
We invite you and your friends to join us at one of our whisky tasting events - from beginner friendly sessions through to the most in-depth and exclusive, our whisky events are educational, fun and social events where everyone is welcome.
Christchurch is our home, with the majority of events are based in our dedicated tasting room, The Howff. We are also out on the road around the country, sometimes with special guests from Scotland and further afield.
To celebrate the upcoming 200th anniversary of the Edradour distillery in Scotland, we are hosting a very special whisky & cheese tasting featuring Whitestone Cheese of Oamaru. Join us for an evening of casks and curds, with an exciting selection of drams from 'Scotlands wee gem' distillery, and guest speaker Simon Berry, a member of the founding Berry family of Whitestone Cheese.
