Get to Know the Event
What’s the Big Picture?
With new bars popping up nationwide, The Philippine Cocktail Fiesta shines a spotlight on the artistry, innovation, and passion driving our local scene, stretching far beyond Metro Manila.
This event isn’t just about cocktails; it’s about community, collaboration, and showcasing the evolving drinking culture across all our islands.
What’s Coming Your Way?
Throughout the week, attendees can experience the host city through cocktail pairing dinners, guest shifts, industry talks, workshops, and bar takeovers at leading hospitality venues.
The Fiesta brings together local and international bartenders, hospitality professionals, and organizers of leading bar weeks, cocktail festivals, and industry events from across Asia.
Who’s Behind It?
Powered by the community, the event is spearheaded by DrinkCollectiv.com, the Philippines’ first drink-centric publication (formerly DrinkManila) that has now expanded its reach in Asia, covering stories about the drinking culture across various cities and celebrating the dedicated individuals behind the drinks industry—and DBWY (Drinks Be With You), a community within the Philippine bar scene that brings together bartenders and enthusiasts through events and cocktail competitions.
