Whisky Wonderland 2026: Canada’s Premier Winter Whisky Festival

Every February, whisky lovers from across the country gather in Ottawa for an unforgettable celebration of flavour, craft, and community.

Our Story

Whisky Wonderland
was built on one simple idea: bringing people together to share their passion for whisky.

From the very beginning, our mission has been to create more than just another tasting event. We wanted to build a community where enthusiasts, connoisseurs, and newcomers alike could gather under one roof, swap stories, and explore the craft behind every dram.

Over three unforgettable days, brands and master distillers join us to share their knowledge and showcase their finest expressions. Attendees can dive into educational sessions, discover food pairings, enjoy masterclasses, and meet the people behind the labels they love.

But Whisky Wonderland is also about experience—live music, winter magic, VIP lounges, cigar pairings, ice bars, even whisky-infused marshmallows. It’s about creating memories that go beyond the glass.

None of this would be possible without the support of our vendors, sponsors, and the whisky community that shows up year after year. Together, they’ve helped make Whisky Wonderland what it is today: Canada’s premier celebration of whisky, culture, and connection.

More than a tasting

Whisky Wonderland isn’t just about sampling spirits—it’s a fully immersive experience. Over one winter weekend, you’ll dive into the culture and craft of whisky through unforgettable masterclasses, curated pairings, live entertainment, and VIP moments that make this festival unlike any other.
