The Tasting Club Holiday Fair brings the Christmas spirit to Rockwell for the next two weekends. With a total of 24 carefully curated purveyors offering  tasty eats, fashionable local crafts, and delectable drinks at Rockwell’s outdoor area, The Tasting Club promises a sumptuous holiday event unlike any other. The festive Holiday Fair provides a safe space for visitors to drink and dine at the breezy alfresco area, as well as shop for unique Christmas gifts and take home yummy food and drinks for Christmas celebrations. 

Discerning imbibers will not be disappointed at the fair’s beverage selection. The event puts the spotlight on local craft spirits from Don Papa Rum, Santa Ana Gin, and Destileria Barako, local craft beers from Jade’s Temple, fine champagne cognac brand Rémy Martin, Australian wines from Hardys Wines, French, Spanish, and Italian wines from Terroir Wine, and Scotch Whisky and New World wines from Forth & Tay. 

Visitors can enjoy free tasting samples of the gourmet food selection with curated drinks. There are scheduled special activities such as carving tutorials with the executive chef of Esguerra Kurobuta, cooking demos with Ooni pizza ovens, and sourdough bread starter introduction by The Daily Kneads every evening at 5:00 pm. Free cocktails from Destileria Barako, Don Papa Rum, Santa Ana Gin, and Rémy Martin Cognac will be offered as well during that time. Sip and savor the drinks while enjoying live performances from acts like Hernan, Trio and Archie.

Feast on tasty treats like The Daily Knead’s baked goods,  jams, homemade foie gras, and sardines from F Taste of France, local sweets from Malagos Chocolate, and more gourmet fare. Those in the lookout for holiday OOTD pieces can check out collections from sustainable brands like Lakat (sustainable sneakers made with pineapple fibers) and Joanique (sustainable and ethical fashion accessories), handcrafted jewelry from Pulseras by Kim and Golden Monstera, and other artisanal fashion finds perfect for the holidays and beyond.        


As a special treat, The Tasting Club collaborated with the participating merchants to create an amazing holiday gift pack (valued at Php 22,000) up for grabs that includes bottles of wine, cheeses, chocolates, bottles of beer and spirits, and more! To join, simply guess how many wine corks are in the glass vase by the entrance. The vase represents the number of wine bottles The Tasting Club founders have consumed since the beginning of the pandemic. The winner will be announced on the last day of the Holiday Fair on Sunday, December 19, at 12 noon on their Instagram account @the_tasting_club.

The Tasting Club Holiday Fair at Rockwell is held at Rockwell Goes Streetside – Plaza Driveway (Zara Entrance of Power Plant Mall) for three consecutive weekends in December 2021: Dec 10-12 and 17-19, Friday to Sunday from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm.
