A five-day cocktail festival is heading to the Harbour City later this month, promising to deliver award-winning drinks, dining and just a touch of decadence. Kicking off in Sydney from April 28 to May 2, the World Class Cocktail Festival marks a significant step in the return to normality for the hospitality industry, with all seven of Australia’s entrants in the World’s 100 Best Bars included in the festival lineup.

There is also a caviar exploration with Ketel One vodka and the team from Simon Johnson, Purveyor of Quality Food, along with a rooftop yoga session followed by a vegan feast and zero alcohol cocktail tasting. Best of all, the World Class Cocktail Festival is set to close with a monster party led by the team at Australia’s best bar, Maybe Sammy on Sunday from 4pm until 12am.

Aside from stunning drinks and scenery, the World Class Cocktail Festival also offers a chance to see the industry’s top bartenders in action. On Tuesday, April 27, the country’s very best bartenders will battle it out to be crowned Australian World Class Bartender of the Year, with the winner moving on to represent Australia virtually in the global World Class Bartender of the Year finals in July.
