Otago Daily Times Lounge, Level 2, Forsyth Barr Stadium
In addition to your festival ticket, choose your Tasting Room Session ticket - there's 3 sessions each day to choose from. These events are niche experiential food and beverage sessions held in the Otago Daily Times Lounge.
Please note: You must also be in possession of a Festival Gate entry ticket to gain access to these sessions.
The Tasting Room Sessions take place in the Otago Daily Times Lounge. Access to the lounge on the second floor is through the Speights Stand. You can enter through the entranceway on the pitch, approximately halfway along the Speights Stand side. Plan to arrive a few minutes early to ensure you have enough time to reach the lounge or take an extra 10 minutes and savour a bird's eye view of the festival from the stands.
One of 2024's hottest beverage trends is the surge in popularity of ‘beer cocktails’. Join us for a hands-on master class discovering beer-based cocktails through the art of mixology. In collaboration with local Dunedin superstars Alchemist Mixology, we've crafted an exceptional range of premium beer cocktails that we are excited to share with you.
After bartending at the finest cocktail bars and events in the Greek Isles and London, Alchemist Mixology founders Jaz and Alex returned home with a vision. They saw that New Zealand events lacked the unique flair they had experienced overseas, leading to the inception of Alchemist Mixology.
DCBFF holds a special place in Alchemist’s heart as the first major festival to believe in and support their vision. Perennial favourites on the pitch, join them in the ODT Lounge for an unforgettable experience that honours the craft of beers and the creativity of cocktail innovation.
