Goa is not just a place. It is a mood, a culture, and a canvas of evolving flavours. This season, Breakaway invites you to explore the state through its spirits, people, and craft traditions during the 10th edition of the Serendipity Arts Festival.

From wandering through the pastel streets of Fontainhas on a curated bar trail to sipping Paul John Single Malts, stepping inside Revelry’s forest gin distillery, getting an insider’s look at MakaZai Rum with its woman founder, or tasting imaginative liqueurs with Unusual Spirits, this journey is about discovery, storytelling, and the creators shaping India’s new taste landscape. Here, every drink has a soul, and every maker has a story.

What to Expect

Goa hums with a rhythm of creativity, craftsmanship, and quiet rebellion. Breakaway’s Spirited Journeys capture this essence by taking you beyond the labels and into the minds and spaces where India’s most exciting craft beverages are created. From the Latin Quarter’s warm evening glow to lush distillery estates and intimate tasting rooms, you step into places that reveal the stories behind every sip.

This experience is designed for the curious traveler who wants to taste, listen, learn, and connect. Whether you are a spirit enthusiast or simply someone who loves Goa’s charm, this journey offers a rich and immersive way to explore its flavours, people, and culture in a way that feels personal and unforgettable.

Breakaway: Experiences Beyond the Ordinary

At Breakaway, we believe that journeys are best experienced through people, creators, artisans, and communities. Spirited Journeys is our invitation to taste Goa from within, guided not by commercial tastings but by intimate encounters with those shaping India’s contemporary beverage culture. From distillery doors that do not usually open to the public to conversations with founders and flavour-forward experiences rooted in place, every moment is crafted to offer depth, delight, and discovery. This is your chance to sip Goa’s spirit, one story at a time.
