Drinks & Experiences
Kris von Stedingk
Driven by flavour, storytelling and shared experiences, Kris has spent the past decade building events around cocktails, spirits and hospitality.
After starting a private catering company in Sweden in 2015, he moved into wine, beer and spirits through hosted tastings and educational events. In 2017, he founded Rum Symposium Amsterdam, working across event planning, spirits education and brand development, while hosting seminars and joining international judging panels across Europe.
In 2021, Kris opened a spirits import and distribution company in Amsterdam, collaborating with bars and restaurants on cocktail concepts, menus and events. Now based in Dordogne, and following the launch of his own rum brand in 2025, Aquitaine Bespoke brings those passions together in one project built around flavour, atmosphere and bringing people together.
