Enjoying the good things together
5 fun-filled days in Barcelona
To celebrate the inauguration of Bon Vivant, we are coming together in one of Europe’s most notable cocktail cities, for food, cocktails, music, takeovers and much, much more.
Passion and professionalism for cocktails and hospitality
Everyone here at Bon Vivant understands the importance of a professional meetup, especially in such a fast-pacing industry like ours. Sometimes, we need a moment to regroup and recuperate with like-minded professionals and connoisseurs.
Learn about new products and trends. Sit in on seminars with leading experts. Discover Barcelona through bar takeovers, take part in contests, and of course, some great parties. That’s an awful lot of mixing, shaking and stirring.
