Ingrid Boinet

Europe's biggest whisky and spirits tasting show is back in Paris! It's the perfect opportunity to discover exclusive new releases and numerous world previews from distilleries. For its 20ᵉ anniversary, Whisky Live Paris promises passion and novelty.

A program for all spirits lovers

Whisky Live Paris is THE event of the year for whisky and other spirits enthusiasts and professionals. And it's back again from September 28 to 30, 2024 at La Grande Halle de La Villette!

Since its creation in 2004, Whisky Live Paris has gone from strength to strength, attracting more exhibitors and visitors from all over the world every year. To keep up with this success, in 2024 the show will take over the whole of La Villette in Paris. On the program:

  • Le Plateau Dégustation, which takes you on a world tour of distilleries, from the United States to Japan and Australia, via Ireland and Scotland.
  • The Rhum Gallery, featuring all varieties of cane brandy, from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean.
  • A space dedicated to French distilleries, highlighting 60 players.
  • Gin Lane, a fashionable spirit known as an essential ally of mixology, will also be showcased through a specific scenography and 10 international brands.
  • Le Patio des Agaves, a journey through Mexican flavours, discovering Tequila and Mezcal on a dedicated 240-square-metre balcony.
  • Masterclasses and meetings with the great names in spirits are also planned.

Last stop: Cocktail Street! Located on the Parvis de la Villette, this avenue dedicated to French and international cocktails will be open to the general public for all three days of the show. In a unique setting, with music by Radio Nova, visitors will be able to discover the 60 ephemeral cocktail bars offering tailor-made cocktail menus. And for the pleasure of gourmets, Cocktail Street joins forces with the Food Market to present a dozen street food stands.

In all, visitors will be able to taste over 1,500 products representing some fifteen categories of spirits (whisky, rum, gin, sake...) from some forty countries, and meet over 200 exhibitors. Join us Saturday September 28 and Sunday September 29 (for the general public) and Monday September 30 (for professionals) at La Grande Halle de La Villette!
