Whiskey lovers, bundle up!

Experience an unforgettable evening of great food, great company, and exceptional spirits at the inaugural Knoxville Whiskey Festival. This elevated event is designed for whiskey aficionados and newcomers alike, with distillers pouring samples of premier whiskey, bourbon and scotch while providing education for those looking to learn more.

Adding to the excitement, four local restaurants will showcase their mixology skills by crafting their best Crown Royal whiskey cocktails for attendees to sample. At the end of the night, the crowd will have the chance to vote for their favorite creation.

Set against the backdrop of live bluegrass music, this indoor/outdoor festival also features delicious offerings from local food vendors, a cigar lounge for those who enjoy a fine smoke, and unique photo opportunities to capture the moment.

This event benefits TennGreen, so every sip counts.

*All Alcohol Sampling ends at 8:45 pm
