Solera is bringing serious spirit to Woodstock with the very first Mothercity Whisky Festival, a two-day celebration dedicated to drams, discovery and the joy of finding a new favourite pour.
Taking place at The Woodstock Exchange on 29 and 30 May 2026, the festival brings together whisky enthusiasts, brand ambassadors, distilleries and curious first-timers for a walk-around tasting experience in the heart of Cape Town.
Guests can expect more than 100 whiskies to taste, ranging from familiar favourites to rare golden drams that deserve a little extra attention.
- The event runs from 18:00 to 23:00 on Friday, 29 May, and from 13:00 to 20:00 on Saturday, 30 May with tickets available from R750. Alongside the tastings, visitors can look forward to whisky experts on site, optional masterclasses, food trucks, a hospitality area, live entertainment, a beer garden and cocktails for those who occasionally cheat on whisky.
VIP guests get a few extra perks, including early entry, access to a VIP area with snacks, a R250 Uber voucher, two cocktails or two beers, access to “hidden” drams and five Golden Dram tickets. General access ticket holders receive three Golden Dram tickets.
Mothercity Whisky Festival is going to be a proper whisky playground. Whether guests know their single malts from their blends or simply enjoy a good glass in good company, Solera has made space for both. Get your tickets now!
