Second annual celebration of Tennessee spirits and culinary scene
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (April 26, 2024) – The Tennessee Whiskey Trail is hosting its second annual “Whiskey Week” this May and taking the celebration statewide, including a week of events and promotions paying homage to Tennessee’s spirits, cuisine and culture in East Tennessee.
East Tennessee’s Whiskey Week will take place from May 3-11, packed with events like distillery tours, live music, and local cocktail and food specials at participating restaurants. There will also be several ticketed Master Distiller-Chef dinners, where chefs at select East Tennessee restaurants will create customized menus based on a Tennessee spirit brand. This celebration will be a chance for Tennesseans and tourists to experience the Trail and savor the state’s native spirits through four key areas: culinary, cocktails, competition, and activations at the Trail’s member distilleries.
