Raise your glasses: Vancouver Cocktail Week presented by The Alchemist magazine returns for its fourth annual round of spirited fun, March 2 to 9, 2025.
This highlight of the March calendar is filled with seminars, master classes, tasting events, cocktail-paired dinners, neighbourhood crawls, guest shifts and spectacular parties, all supported by dozens of brand sponsors pouring their best products for you. Expect to see all your favourite local bartenders in action, as well as top talent from across Canada and around the world.
Two signature events you won’t want to miss: the traditional welcome brunch that kicks things off on March 2, held at ARC Restaurant in the Fairmont Waterfront; and the week’s main event, the Black & White closing gala, which will be held on March 8 in the Spanish Ballroom at Rosewood Hotel Georgia. This is an all-out glam good time with hot tunes, fine food and more than two dozen cocktail stations, many hosted by global brand ambassadors serving their most creative cocktail creations.
Another must-do is the (unticketed) Cinq à Sept series of elevated ‘happy hours’ that celebrate food, drink, art and community at Vancouver Cocktail Week partnering venues around the city.
Finally, no celebration of community can go without supporting the people who work in it, so Vancouver Cocktail Week is proud to announce that a portion of proceeds will go to our new charity partner, Mind The Bar, an organization that began here in Vancouver and is supporting mental health wellness across Canada.
