People at the center

“We want to bring people together,” highlights Norex’s CEO Tomas Lönnberg as one of Grand Tasting’s objectives. “In addition to presenting products, we also bring forward the people behind them.”

Norex Grand Tasting offers an opportunity for presence, in-depth conversations, learning something new, and sharing expertise that adds to the common good.

“There are both small entrepreneurs and larger players, family businesses and big chains. The place is full of knowledge and wisdom that people want to share,” Lönnberg says. “The best people are here. You should come too.”

In addition to beverage industry expertise, the event will also feature partners from the food sector.

Cocktail o’clock

As the late afternoon arrives, the event’s cocktail bars will open. Expect skillful demonstrations and delicious drinks from the industry’s best talents, from the bars Babylon, Runar and Bar Mate.

Cocktails will be crafted from 4 PM to 7 PM.
