WELCOME

 

This year will mark our 15th year of celebrating global cocktail culture with World Class; we cannot wait to celebrate all that's passed and all that's to come with our community at the Global Final this year.

 

We are delighted to be hosting our 15th edition in Shanghai, a city that seamlessly blends modern architecture and its rich history of culture. 

 

This not to be missed event will include the World Class Global Bartender of the Year Competition, along with the return of the Industry Forum where we will again partner with leading drinks & hospitality experts from around the world to explore forces of change within our industry - from innovative tech to how we can leverage diversity & inclusion to accelerate creativity & performance.

 

World Class Cocktail Festival will also be taking over China between 31 August and 22 September with pop-ups, collaborations with the country’s best bars as part of a month-long celebration of cocktail culture and Diageo's Luxury Reserve Brands.
