From noon to 11 PM each day, this festival promises a delightful experience for food and cocktail enthusiasts, music lovers, and thrill-seekers alike.

Lifestyle Insider Taste premium rums, gins, liqueurs and more

An evolution of the beloved Gin Explorers Club, the festival has expanded its horizons to become a place of discovery in the realms of food, music, and spirits. This year, the festival introduces an incredible blend of curated spirits, culinary delights, and unforgettable entertainment. With a lineup of premium gin, tequila, whisky, rum, liqueurs, and more, guests are invited to explore a world of luxury flavors. Expect to sip on homegrown and international brands like El Cristiano Tequila, Bushmills Whiskey, Camikara Rum, Don Julio Tequila, Roku Gin, Samsara Gin, SKYY Vodka, and the iconic Old Monk, among others.

Catering to every palate, Explorers Club features a stellar array of food. From the country’s go-to restaurants like Kofuku and Burma Burma to the finest home kitchens serving up flavors rooted in tradition, such as Vietnam-ease Càphê and Mood Kitchen, the festival is a gastronomic paradise. But that’s not all—the star of the food curation is a BBQ lover's dream! At a signature pit, guests can enjoy a grilled, smoky winter brunch while sipping on classic cocktails. Coffee aficionados will have the opportunity to explore the dedicated Coffee Souk, featuring artisanal brands like First Coffee, Kaffa, and Bili Hu, curated carefully to ensure there’s something for everyone to sip on.

Music takes center stage with a lineup of rising stars making waves in the music scene. International sensations ADHD (London) and Kidoo (Europe) join Indian talents like Dualist Inquiry, Murthovic, and Anushka to keep the energy high throughout the weekend. Each day offers a unique musical experience, bringing fresh sounds and vibrant energy for returning guests.

“We’ve always been extremely proud of the culture we’ve built around gin, and now we’re excited to expand that vision,” says Shuchir Suri. “We’re moving in a direction where we explore new frontiers, not just in spirits, but in food, music and more all while maintaining the premium experience that our guests have come to expect. We can’t wait for everyone to join us on this next chapter.”

“We’re really passionate about curating experiences that celebrate the vibrant cultures of food, music and spirits,” says Anjali Batra. “With Explorers Club, we’re pushing the boundaries and inviting people to discover new flavours and stories. What we’re creating isn’t just an event– it’s an invitation to explore, to taste and to immerse yourself in something fresh and exciting.”

Lifestyle Insider is a kind of junction point, connecting people with diverse interests that touch on the more luxurious aspects of lifestyle – fashion, design, travel, food and spirits, art, watches and jewellery, cars, yachts, and aviation, and technology. People today don’t fit into boxes and categories. In our individual ways, we are interested in diverse themes, products, and the challenges that face our world today. You will judge how well this effort of mine caters to your passions and proclivities.

Lifestyle Insider is a showcase of all that is beautiful and luxe. Behind every creation, is a designer, chef, entrepreneur, or a design maison. I have delved into my own appreciation for objetsde luxe that I have admired over the years – be it a love of fashion from the world’s top Parisian and Italian fashion maisons and their ’90s muses, or the care that goes into sari and Indian textile collections in my own family. Growing up on four continents, as the daughter of a former Indian Ambassador, I’ve seen a remarkable array of historic places and met a myriad people. My aim is to bring my world view into this website, a curation of what I find particularly stunning, unique, and newsworthy.

It’s an exciting time for brands all over the world. With change comes opportunity. With the global ‘reset’ and uncertainty on many fronts, there is a chance to write a new script. Let’s be those pioneers.

A bit about me:
A luxury and fashion journalist with 25 years of experience in publishing and magazine journalism, I have edited some of India’s top fashion and luxury magazines. I got my BA in Comparative Literature from UC Berkeley, and went on to receive my Master’s in English and French from the University of Strasbourg, France. I have also studied German and Film. I live in Gurugram, India, and look forward to once again exploring our world with a new-found freedom.
