Caribbean Wines & Spirits (CWS), The Bahamas’ premier wines and spirits distributor, and lead sponsor the 2026 Bahamas National Trust (BNT) Wine and Art festival proudly showcased its multi-continental wine portfolio which offered attendees a premium taste of the world.

CWS carefully curated wine offerings from Italy, France, New Zealand, California and Japan for the ultimate tasting experience.

Each country’s bar-booth included CWS brand ambassadors equipped with detailed knowledge of each of their wines. Wine ambassadors also paid homage to their country through cultural attires.

Upon entering the festival, attendees were greeted with a beautiful floral arch featuring a neon Caribbean Wines & Spirits sign, marking the central hub for CWS wines. There, people could enjoy wines from New Zealand, Italy, France and California along with a photo worthy botanic CWS hedge wall.

Japan’s booth located closer the stage and food court provided an authentic feel to the nation’s bustling street food market industry to those sampling sake.

The three-day festival weekend kicked off on Friday with BNT’s members enjoying early access to festival sips during Member’s Night. Members intimately savored the flavors of Japan, New Zealand and France ahead of the public.

Day two of the festival brought an overwhelming energy of excitement and interest from the crowd. Whether a self-proclaimed wine expert, or a beginner, attendees relished in the opportunity to sip and learn at each booth.

In the afternoon, CWS treated sake lovers and speculators to a sake class hosted by Andrew Sowers, Joto Sake’s Southeast Regional Manager. Throughout the session Sowers walked guests through the origins of sake, the various sake’s CWS offers, ideal pairings and tasting notes.

Exclusive attendees enjoyed access to BNT’s Bubble Lounge, a collaborative experience between each alcohol distributor presented throughout the festival. CWS contributions included three premium products, Caposaldo Prosecco, Bouvet Rose, and Bouvet Brut.

Sunday, the festival’s final day, followed the same rhythm as Saturday. Many attendees returned for the final day to indulge in their favorite wines or brought friends along to try their recommendations.
