The Drinks of Taste Experience

A coast-to-coast flavour journey featuring Canada’s largest beverage selection — from rare spirits to small-batch wines, craft beers, zero-ABV creations, and more. Taste Ex is where discovery begins.

Canada’s Largest Curated Bar

With 280 feet of bar service and one of the most extensive drink lineups in the country, the “Great Canadian Bar” will be the centre of the show floor.

Rather than requiring long-distance exhibitors to travel to London and incur that cost, our team has curated the entire beverage menu, bringing these exclusive and hard-to-find selections sourced from breweries, wineries, distillers, and beverage makers across Canada, directly to you.

Expect hundreds of options — including unlisted, small-batch, and limited-release products you’re unlikely to find anywhere else.

Full list coming soon. Check back for updates.

Of course, if you like to see what’s locally ours, visit the beverage producers in the exhibitor area.

Cocktails and Spirits Bar

Visit the Scotch & Ponder Spirits and Cocktail Bar to discover a wide selection of spirits and handcrafted cocktails, including a signature cocktail made just for Taste Ex.

From aromatic gins and artisanal whiskies to unique liqueurs and Canadian craft spirits, every pour is selected to showcase innovation and exceptional flavour. Whether you’re a seasoned spirits enthusiast or cocktail curious, this bar invites you to sip, compare, and explore what’s new and next in Canadian distilling.

An Inclusive Experience: Non-Alcoholic Drinks Too

Rich flavours, zero proof — because exceptional taste should be for everyone.

Taste Experience is designed to be welcoming and inclusive, offering a broad selection of non-alcoholic beverages curated with the same care as every other part of the show. From alcohol-free wines, beers, and spirits to craft sodas, teas, and coffees, you’ll find something delicious no matter how you choose to sip.

Enjoy a moment of warmth and indulgence at Locomotive’s Espresso Coffee & Tea Bar, located at the end of the Great Canadian Bar — the perfect stop for an espresso, tea, or a cozy non-alcoholic pairing.
