Tennessee is known around the world as a place where great whiskey is not only made but also honored. The Tennessee Whiskey Festival was created with a passion to showcase the state’s craft spirits and the people who produce them. It’s the perfect opportunity to sample the best whiskey offered in Tennessee as well as other craft distilled products available in the area.
The 4th annual Tennessee Whiskey Festival will take place in Chattanooga at the First Tennessee Pavilion on the night of May 20th from 6:00pm until 11:00pm.
Everyone is invited from across the region to celebrate craft distilling in Tennessee. Click here to look at a list of Distilleries. Click here for tips on how to taste whiskey.
