Commenting on the announcement of the festival, Keshav Prakash, Founder and Chief Curator, says, "We at THE VAULT have been consistently striving to feel the pulse of fine spirits enthusiasts and connoisseurs and elevate their experiences to something unlike anything seen before in India. With ever more discerning drinkers, it isn't a surprise that India is soon poised to be one of the World's largest 'AT-HOME' consumption markets for Craft & Fine Spirits. More and more fine artisan spirits are making their way into intimate gatherings at homes. This changing and encouraging visage of India, has led to us envisioning and hosting THE VAULT HOME BAR FESTIVAL."
Anand Virmani, Co-Founder, Nao Spirits and the maker of Hapusa Gin echoes Keshav's thoughts "Going out for a drink has long been filled with curiosity and excitement, and it's only recently that all our personal bars at home have started to reflect some of the same. The pandemic has forced us indoors and given us all the time and desire to explore the nuances of the drink at home so this celebration of the home bar is a timely one!"

With an expected 3000+ visitors and guests, THE VAULT HOME BAR FESTIVAL is here on going to be a yearly destination. Through this festival, The Vault hopes that by engaging the craft spirits explorers in various experiences, they will add a whole new repertoire to their at-home hosting, by bringing in their preferences and personality to it.

Rishi Walli, Senior Commercial Director, Beam Suntory India shares, "Our participation in the Vault Home Bar Festival allows us an opportunity to cater to India's discerning and growing fine spirits enthusiasts, who can taste, discover, listen, and indulge while experiencing the finer nuances of premium and diverse range of spirits. The outlook for alcoholic beverages has seen a positive shift due to a greater preference for premium spirits and quality F&B experiences that are increasingly being fostered by festivals like Vault. Consumers nowadays are curating home bars with luxury and super-premium spirits for at-home smaller group experiences, signaling the rise of Premiumisation. Home consumption and experimenting with cocktail culture are also expected to remain relevant given its safe, engaging, and fulfilling."

The whole team at THE VAULT has been striving to build a culture of fine spirits appreciation in India and beyond, and they believe that the festival will be a space for such conversations, connections, tips and trivia that the visiting fine spirits enthusiasts from around the country can gather from craft distillers, industry experts, F&B pioneers and world mixologists who are traveling to be there from around the world.
