Gorey Whiskey Festival 2026 – Nov 6th and 7th

Gorey hosts its first whiskey festival on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 November 2026, a relaxed, multi-venue celebration of Irish whiskey in the heart of the town.

 

Presented by Gorey Whiskey Club, the weekend brings whiskey makers and enthusiasts together for a Friday evening club dinner followed by a full Saturday programme of guided tastings and a whiskey-based cocktail event. Eight separately ticketed events run across four venues: Amber Springs Hotel, Browne’s Lounge, Katie Daly’s Bar and Paddy Blues Pub. Everything is within walking distance, which makes the festival an easy way to see Gorey while meeting the people behind some of Ireland’s most interesting whiskeys.

 

The 2026 programme features J.J. Corry, Killowen Distillery, Powerscourt Distillery, Boann Distillery, Two Stacks Irish Whiskey, Teeling Whiskey and Echlinville Distillery. Each session is ticketed separately, so visitors can choose one event or build their own festival weekend. Tickets from EUR 25.

 

Multiple distilleries. Multiple venues. One weekend in Gorey.
