0 # anne 2010-10-01 14:31 My husband and I allong with a few good friends have made the Hopscotch a yearly tradition since the first year. We are very disaponted that this year the event is on a Wednesday. It is hard to enjoy a nice dinner with friends and an evening at the winspear in the middle of the week.
Unfortunatly we will be breaking tradition this year by not attending.
very unfortunate timing. Reply | Reply with quote | Quote

0 # Jordan 2011-09-08 03:26 How is the event set up? Is it like Rocky where after entering the venue you use purchased tickets for drinks?

Or is it more the Whisky festival where you pay your ticket price and get a glass then go table to table for samples? Reply | Reply with quote | Quote

It is like the Whisky festival - one price for admission and then no charge for any samples. Please note that this page is for last year's event - the 2011 Drams & Draughts page is located here:

Thanks for your inquiry. There will be light catering, but not dinner provided. The VIP Tasting will feature exclusive high-end Glenmorangie whiskies not available at the regular tasting. VIP Tickets include this special tasting at 6:30 pm and the regular tasting beginning at 7 pm.
