Wise Fest 2023 is being held at Wayside Farm, Evercreech, Somerset, BA4 6QW from 12noon-10pm on Saturday 15th July. With a wide selection of alcohol-free drinks to choose from, visitors will also be able to enjoy live music, BBQ food and tutored drinks tasting sessions with kids face painting and glitter tattoos available for younger guests.
Wise Bartender Founder and organiser of Wise Fest 2023, Tom Ward, commented “Wise Bartender has specialised in alcohol-free drinks since its launch in 2017 and gives people a choice about what they want to drink. We stock over 600 products to meet the growing demand for alcohol-free beer, cider, wine, spirits, cocktails and kombuchas and know from research that over a quarter (29%) of UK drinkers now 'semi-regularly' consume low and no alcohol products. The quality has improved dramatically in the last few years and there is now an incredible range of full-flavoured alcohol-free drinks that are perfect to enjoy on a sunny summers day. Wise Fest is the perfect way of exploring and discovering some new gems alongside enjoying some old favourites in a relaxed and enjoyable setting with the whole family.”
One of the highlights of Wise Fest 2023 will be the tutored tastings, hosted by drinks experts. “For those who want to know a little more about the range of alcohol-free drinks and finding some new alcohol-free must-have drinks, we are thrilled to welcome some of the most knowledgeable experts in the category who will be leading tasting sessions” added Tom.
“Leading wine expert and founder of the world alcohol-free awards, Chrissie Parkinson, social media personality Emma Newman (@Emma_Sobersonic) and Club Soda beer expert Teddy Hardman will all be taking guests through sampling sessions at free tastings during the day. Among the alcohol-free drinks to try will be beers from Big Drop Brewing, Butcombe and Clean Break Brewing; spirit alternatives from Caleño, Myth Spirits, Ish Spirits and Mahala Spirit; wine from McGuigan's and Not Guilty and Maiden Mill, the worlds’ only dedicated alcohol-free cider producer.”
Everyone is welcome at Wise Fest 2023, as are dogs on leads, with a wide range of alcohol-free drinks available plus BBQ and ice creams. Live music will be provided by local artists Eddie Dean, 34 South Duo and John Lime Acoustic and you may even catch a glimpse of the Caleño Brazilian dancers.
There is plentiful parking and admission is free on the gate, but advance tickets can be ordered for £5 which will include a free drink at the event and a free glass to take home. Wise Fest 2023 is on Saturday 15th July 2023 at Wayside Farm, Evercreech, in Somerset, from 12noon-10pm
