Whisky Wonderland Festival

08/26/2026

Ottawa’s Whisky Festival - built here, for here.

For five years, we’ve brought Ottawa’s whisky community together to discover exceptional pours, meet the people behind the bottles, and share unforgettable nights of flavour, conversation, and local hospitality.

This is more than a single-day tasting. It is a multi-day whisky experience featuring over 50 vendors, distilleries from around the world, exclusive masterclasses, curated whisky dinners, and opportunities to explore the stories, craftsmanship, and people behind every pour.

With more vendors, masterclasses, and whisky experiences than any other show in Ottawa, Whisky Wonderland is where the city’s whisky community comes together.

Proudly Ottawa-based. Proudly community-led. And raising a glass with you since day one.

Join us as we celebrate our fifth anniversary.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Cigar Chief Named Title Sponsor of Whisky Wonderland 2027 — Canada’s Must-Attend Whisky Experience!

Whisky Wonderland is proud to announce that Cigar Chief - Canada’s #1 cigar shop — will be the Title Sponsor of the 5th edition of Whisky Wonderland, February 18–20, 2027 at TD Place in Ottawa.

This is a natural pairing. A great whisky deserves a great cigar, and Cigar Chief has spent years building Canada’s most respected destination for premium, world-class ci**rs - a perfect partner for Canada’s Premier Whisky Festival.
A world-class cigar experience comes to TD Place

Cigar Chief is bringing the very best of its curated portfolio to Whisky Wonderland - a full weekend of premium pairings, discovery, and craftsmanship for our guests. Every cigar Cigar Chief carries is backed by their guaranteed quality and guaranteed price promise and all Cuban ci**rs are sourced directly through Habanos S.A., the official manufacturer and exporter of Cuba. That’s the standard our guests deserve.

Why this partnership matters

Whisky Wonderland is built on real experiences with real makers - not a generic trade show. Cigar Chief shares that philosophy. Together, we’re building a weekend where every pour, every pairing, and every conversation is worth remembering.

Look for the Cigar Chief lounge experience at TD Place - the perfect place to slow down, savour a dram, and light up something exceptional between masterclasses, tastings, and the main show.

Calling all whisky, wine, spirits, and beer brands and vendors - Whisky Wonderland returns for our 5th year from February 18-20, 2027 in Ottawa, Canada!

Recognized as Ottawa’s premier whisky festival and one of Canada’s must-attend whisky events, this year promises our biggest celebration yet welcoming over 500 passionate whisky drinkers, collectors, and enthusiasts.

Whisky Wonderland is proudly presented as a daytime festival from 2–7 PM, respecting the valuable time of our partner brands while ensuring attendees can enjoy the full experience and still arrive home safely and at a reasonable hour.

Best of all - there are absolutely no table fees for participating brands. Your only investment is showing up, pouring your best, and sharing your story with an energized, curious crowd.

Whisky Wonderland was proudly founded and organized in Ottawa by The Whisky Explorer, Mike Brisebois - an Ottawa local whose passion for building community and championing premium whisky experiences has made this festival a truly homegrown success story. Having once worked as a brand ambassador in Canada, and having attended nearly every whisky festival across the country, Mike understood exactly what was missing.

When Whisky Wonderland was created, his goal was to maximize the experience for both attendees and brands - designing festivals where everyone feels valued, connected, and inspired. He is also the founder of Canada’s only all-inclusive Whisky Awards, creator of Whisky Camp and The Whisky Explorer Magazine, and a trusted consultant to leading whisky and spirits brands nationwide.

At its heart, Whisky Wonderland is about experience, education, and connection - bringing together top brands and passionate drinkers to explore whisky, wine, spirits, and craft beer in new and exciting ways. From guided tastings to immersive activations, it’s all about engaging Canada’s next generation of enthusiasts.

This is your chance to connect, collaborate, and celebrate with Canada’s most passionate community of whisky and spirits lovers - all under one roof.
