The event is heavy on experiences, with fun installations and interactive spaces. Anjali Batra, co-founder, Gin Explorer’s Club describes it as a lively space, where, “you’ll feel like a child again.” Festival goers can savour 15-plus homegrown and international gin brands; including new variants from Chambal Valley and a Japanese brand debuting here. If you are a gin nerd, make sure to sign up for a workshop on the art of sipping gin and crafting cocktails. “We now have a 50-50 ratio of Indian and imported gin brands. People are trying homegrown gins. It’s exciting that there has been a perception shift that quality gin only comes from the West,” she added, commenting about the shift in gin trends.
