Hey, Virginia Bartenders!

Our Trade Tastings are an exclusive opportunity for restaurant and bar professionals to connect with Virginia distilleries and explore the state’s thriving spirits community.

We don’t currently have any upcoming Trade Tasting events scheduled — but check back soon for updates!

These events are always free to attend and open only to members of the alcohol beverage industry. Virginia ABC regulations require that all attendees register in advance when events are announced.

Stay tuned — we’ll raise a glass together soon.
