Visit Belfast: Belfast Whiskey Week events listing

"Ireland's largest Whiskey Festival is back for 2024! Enjoy Exclusive Dining and Drink Collaborations with your favourite Bars & Restaurants."

The Visit Belfast guide runs through the festival's full programme: whiskey tastings, cocktail events, theatrical experiences, distillery tours, sensory and fine dining experiences, exclusive dining and drink collaborations with well-known Belfast bars and restaurants, heritage walking tours, and food pairing sessions.

Coverage from Visit Belfast matters for the festival in a specific way. The tourism authority's content reaches visitors who are at the planning stage — researching what to do in Belfast, comparing dates, deciding whether to extend a stay. Being listed and promoted by Visit Belfast positions the festival as a recognised destination event, not just one of many things happening in the city.

The relationship between Belfast Whiskey Week and Visit Belfast has grown over multiple festival editions. Visit Belfast Partners — the B2B-facing arm — has published multiple pieces about the festival aimed at hotels, restaurants and tourism trade partners, supporting the wider ecosystem that benefits when international visitors come for the festival.

Tourism Ireland (the all-island tourism marketing body) has also published official press releases for Belfast Whiskey Week 2025, extending the festival's reach into US, European and international markets through its global communications network. The combination of Visit Belfast's city-level promotion and Tourism Ireland's international reach gives the festival a layered tourism marketing presence that few other Northern Ireland events match.

For festival-goers researching what to plan around Belfast Whiskey Week, the Visit Belfast listing is one of the most useful single resources — written and curated specifically for visitors, with links to accommodation, transport, and other Belfast experiences.
