Whisky Live Jakarta 2026

Whisky Live Jakarta 2026 Returns Bigger Than Ever, 

Bringing 70 Brands and a World of Spirits Together 

Held at Park Hyatt Jakarta on 11–12 April 2026, the festival gathers more than 70 international labels across whisky, wine, sake, and premium spirits in a newly expanded format

Whisky Live Jakarta 2026 officially opens on 11–12 April 2026 at Park Hyatt Jakarta, ushering in a new chapter for Indonesia's premium spirits festival scene. This year, Whisky Live Jakarta moves beyond its identity as a whisky exhibition and evolves into a cross-category platform — one that brings whisky, wine, sake, and a diverse range of spirits together within a single, curated experience.

Long recognised as part of the global Whisky Live circuit, alongside editions in Paris, London, Singapore, and Manila, Jakarta’s edition has steadily grown in both scale and relevance. This year, however, the change is less about size and more about perspective: a festival once defined by category now shaped by the way contemporary audiences actually explore what they drink.

Under the theme "Whisky Live for Everyone", the 2026 edition is designed to reach a wider spectrum of audiences while opening up a more inclusive space for exploration across different preferences and palates. 

The year 2026 marks a pivotal moment in Whisky Live Jakarta's journey. Through a strategic collaboration with Wine & Sake Social by Jaddi Internasional, the festival introduces a fresh approach that integrates multiple beverage categories into one cohesive ecosystem. Guests are not simply attending to taste, but also invited to move fluidly between categories, transitioning from one experience to the next in a seamless, uninterrupted flow. 

“This year we are broadening that perspective through our collaboration with Wine & Sake Social by Jaddi Internasional, bringing an experience that is more compelling and refined, while staying true to how people genuinely enjoy spirits today,” said Agung Sentosa, Director Whisky Live Indonesia. 

This approach reflects a wider shift in consumer behaviour, one where exploration is no longer confined to a single category, and where curiosity drives the experience.

Whisky Live Jakarta 2026 brings together more than 70 international and local brands representing diverse countries and approaches within the world of spirits. Their presence does more than expand the selection on offer, it forms an ecosystem in which every product carries its own story, character, and background. From distilleries with long-standing legacies to brands built on contemporary craft, all are brought together within one thoughtfully curated space.

To further elevate the overall experience, Whisky Live Jakarta 2026 also introduces The Royal Glasshouse as one of its key event venues. The Royal Glasshouse is a distinguished and beautifully conceived event venue, offering 12,916 square feet (approximately 1,200 square meters) of versatile space designed to host extraordinary occasions. Spanning three elegantly arranged floors, the venue seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor settings, allowing events to flow effortlessly while providing guests with a refined and immersive experience.

Thoughtfully designed to accommodate events of various scales, the Royal Glasshouse can host up to 1,400 guests in a theatre-style arrangement, 1,200 guests for standing receptions, or 550 guests in a classroom setup, making it ideal for conferences, social gatherings, and celebratory occasions. Its expansive layout and high ceilings create a sense of openness, while abundant natural light enhances the venue’s contemporary character.

Serving as a complementary space within the overall event journey, the Royal Glasshouse offers a setting that supports both social interaction and curated experiences, contributing to the layered atmosphere of Whisky Live Jakarta 2026.

Direct interaction with international brand ambassadors remains a cornerstone of the experience, giving guests a deeper understanding of the process, flavour profile, and philosophy behind each product.

Whisky Live Jakarta 2026 presents a programme designed as a layered experience combining exploration, education, and genuine connection in a single setting.

● Whisky & Spirits Tasting The entry point for guests to discover the breadth of flavour, character, and distinction across each product on the floor. 

● Masterclass Education-led sessions guided by Master Distillers, Master Blenders, and Global Brand Ambassadors, offering a deeper look at production processes, tasting techniques, and insight into the direction of the global spirits industry. 

● Brand Exhibition The central floor of the event, where brands and guests meet directly. Each booth is designed not merely as a display, but as a space for interaction, storytelling, and hands-on exploration. 

● VIP Lounge An exclusive space offering a more personal experience featuring rare and carefully selected collections in an intimate, curated setting. 

● Live Entertainment A supporting element that reinforces the atmosphere of the event, creating an ambiance that remains relaxed yet purposeful throughout. More than an event, Whisky Live Jakarta 2026 serves as a platform that brings together key stakeholders across the industry from global brands and local players to the broader spirits community. In doing so, it goes beyond delivering an experience for guests; it actively drives the exchange of knowledge, broadens perspectives, and strengthens the spirits ecosystem in Indonesia.

“By bringing multiple categories together within one ecosystem, Whisky Live Jakarta becomes a more adaptive platform and one that is genuinely aligned with where the global industry is moving,” said Andrew Soetiono, Technical Adviser Whisky Live Indonesia.
