Whisky Live Paris, the whisky-tasting show, has confirmed that it will return to La Granda Halle de la Villette from 27–29 September 2025.
In 2024, Whisky Live Paris celebrated its 20th anniversary, welcoming 22,000 visitors and 300 exhibitors from the world over. The 2024 edition also saw the launch of the World Drinks Awards France. The awards spotlight French whisky in four style categories (single malt, single grain, single cask, blended) and gin in two style categories (classic and contemporary).
For the upcoming 2025 event, Whisky Live Paris promises an "even more exciting" programme, which will include the debut of 'Pavilion France', a space within the tasting hall that will specifically celebrate French whiskies and spirits.
Fine spirits as well as whisky will be featured at Whisky Live Paris, with areas including the Rum Gallery, Sake District, Gin Lane, and Agave Patio all designed to help spirits fans explore different categories and flavours. For those seeking a premium experience, the VIP Area will offer access to exclusive and rare bottlings.
Also at the event, the Masterclass Forum will host discussions and debates, while a pop-up shop will allow guests to purchase special Whisky Live Paris bottlings and relevant releases from the show.
Alongside Whisky Live Paris will be the ninth edition Cocktail Street, which celebrates the French and international bar scene, as well as street-food markets and music from Radio Nova.
Whisky Live Paris is run by Parisian spirits retailer La Maison du Whisky in partnership with Whisky Live. La Maison du Whisky will also be present at the upcoming Whisky Live London, as its official retailer.
Ticket sales for Whisky Live Paris 2025 are open now, with early-bird discounts available until 1 May 2025 — see www.whiskylive.fr/en/ticketing for details.
