Hobart: The Spirit of Five Meets the Mediterranean
2026-08-21 18:00 - 21:00 (Australia/Hobart) | Restaurant Maria, Brooke St Pier, Hobart, TAS, 7000, Australia
Every year, the five Scotch Whisky regions celebrate the spirit of their own flavours. The Society is uniquely positioned to be able to celebrate all five regions at once; but as Scotch Whisky evolves, we at the SMWS have to ask: do the regions really matter? There’s only one way to find out!
This year in Hobart, your Ambassador Tom Rofe has gone all out for the Festivals, adding a luxurious and expertly-crafted Mediterranean twist; we’ve teamed up with Restaurant Maria on the Brooke St Pier to deliver a premium five-course meal paired with five of the 2026 SMWS Festival Creators Collection bottlings — one from each region, with an additional five-region blend to welcome you to the evening.
Make no mistake, this is not your average SMWS tasting; a beautiful and luxuriously paired dinner where the liquid gold of the Scotch Whisky regions meet the delight of the Mediterranean’s culinary prowess.

When? Friday, August 21; 5:50pm arrival for a 6pm start.
Where? Restaurant Maria; Brooke St Pier, Hobart 7000
What? 6x SMWS 2026 Festivals Creators Collection drams (five paired + a welcome dram) and a five-course mediterranean dinner.
