Some of the strongest expressions of culture are not found in museums, but around a shared table. They are found in the meals we prepare, the spirits we pour, the objects we design, and the conversations they inspire. Together, they form a distinctly Filipino tradition of hospitality that continues to evolve through the work of today’s chefs, distillers, designers, and makers.
On July 4, 2026, ANTLIA and Witchcraft Distillery present Nocturnata, an intimate gathering in Forbes Park where hospitality and design converge. Bringing together leading names in food, spirits, music, and craftsmanship, the evening celebrates a new generation of creatives shaping contemporary Philippine culture.
Singapore-founded eyewear brand ANTLIA anchors the evening’s design experience with a curated presentation of its signature frames, reflecting its belief that thoughtful design should elevate everyday life. Complementing this is a carefully considered environment created with MOLD Lighting, Rega UK, Fyne Audio, I-Land, and Solano Lamps, where every element, from lighting and furniture to sound, has been selected with intention.
Hospitality takes center stage through a collaboration between Witchcraft Distillery, Toma Toma, and Sarsa. Guests will enjoy small plates by Chef JP Anglo’s Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand restaurant, Sarsa, alongside a cocktail program that pairs Witchcraft’s award-winning Filipino spirits with Toma Toma’s ingredient-driven approach to modern hospitality.
Earlier this year, Witchcraft Distillery earned one Silver Medal and two Bronze Medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC), widely regarded as the world’s most prestigious spirits competition. Ghost Gin was awarded Silver, while Avallach Single Malt and Spectre 431 Single Malt each received Bronze, underscoring the distillery’s commitment to expressing Philippine terroir through world-class spirits rooted in the Cordilleras.
That philosophy finds a natural partner in Toma Toma, the hyperlocal cocktail concept founded by internationally acclaimed bartender Arcadius Rybak, whose menus champion Philippine ingredients, regional producers, and a distinctly local approach to hospitality.
The event is supported by HKB Digital, Her Hyness, and Nutrijoy Fiesta.
More than a gathering, Nocturnata reflects a shared belief that culture is experienced through the things we make and the way we welcome others. Through hospitality, design, and craftsmanship, ANTLIA and Witchcraft Distillery invite guests to experience contemporary Philippine culture through every sense.
