Oregon’s independent craft spirit scene takes center stage in Bend with the return of the fourth annual Oregon Whiskey Festival, set to take place on September 20 from 3-7pm at Oregon Spirit Distillers.
Brought to you by title sponsor WaFed Bank of Bend the Oregon Whiskey Festival will showcase the craftsmanship and diversity of Oregon-made Whiskey, featuring distilleries from across the state. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore a state-wide variety of Whiskies, creating their own personalized tasting journey.
Beyond the whiskey tasting, attendees will enjoy live music and food trucks, shop vendor booths and order their favorite classic whiskey cocktails from the bar!
Additionally, VIP ticket holders will attend a Friday evening cocktail party with emphasis on whiskey making education and a hands-on single barrel selection process opportunity. On Saturday the VIP ticket holders are granted a one-hour early entry window to the festival to experience the different distilleries offerings without the large crowd.
Tickets to the Oregon Whiskey Festival include a commemorative glass and eight taster tokens — each worth one pour from a distillery, allowing them to extensively explore Oregon’s whiskies.
