GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands – Tortuga Fine Wine & Spirits celebrated another milestone on Saturday, 11 October, as the fifth annual Cayman Wine Fest transformed The Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort into a vibrant showcase of world-class wines, premium spirits, and gourmet experiences.
The event welcomed guests for an evening of indulgence and discovery, with over 150 wines and spirits on offer, including more than 40 brand-new-to-island products making their Cayman debut. The evening underscored Tortuga’s commitment to expanding its portfolio and position as the islands’ largest and leading retail, wholesale, and duty-free liquor business.
Highlights from the new arrivals included the celebrated Caribbean distillery, Mutiny Island Vodka, alongside prestigious French champagne houses such as Jeeper and Philipponnat, and sought-after wines from Europe and South America. All new products showcased at Cayman Wine Fest are now available across Tortuga Fine Wine & Spirits stores and online.
“As the largest retail, wholesale, and duty-free liquor business in the Cayman Islands, we are continuously on a voyage of discovery to grow and expand our portfolio and bring the world’s best brands to our retail and wholesale customers,” Eugene Nolan, chief executive officer of Tortuga Rum Company, said.
“Every year, Cayman Wine Fest and our Trade Expo are fantastic opportunities to introduce new labels to the island, connect with our clients, and celebrate fine wine and spirits.”
The event experience extended beyond the tasting tables with immersive brand activations, including a Flor de Caña rum bar, a Hendrick’s botanical garden, and a Coravin wine vault. Tortuga also toasted the launch of a new partnership with local gift shop, Goodness, offering curated ‘Tortuga x Goodness’ gift boxes packed with fine wine, spirits, and locally inspired treasures just in time for the holiday season.
Now firmly established as one of the Cayman Islands’ premier social and culinary events, Cayman Wine Fest continues to elevate the islands’ appreciation for fine wines and spirits, while fostering community connections and unforgettable experiences.
“This year’s Cayman Wine Fest truly captured what we set out to achieve when we conceived this event back in 2018 – creating an unforgettable experience that brings people together through a shared love of great wine, great food, and great company,” Nolan said. “It was also a proud moment to showcase the scale and quality of our expanding offering and to see so many guests discovering new favourites.”
