The Tennessee Whiskey Trail is excited to announce the return of its “Whiskey Week” celebration this May, focusing on East Tennessee’s rich spirits, cuisine, and culture. This event, now in its second annual iteration, is scheduled to run from May 3-11 and promises a variety of activities including distillery tours, live music, and special food and cocktail offerings at participating local restaurants.
One of the highlights of the week will be several ticketed Master Distiller-Chef dinners. These unique culinary experiences will feature menus specially crafted by chefs from select East Tennessee restaurants, inspired by a Tennessee spirit brand. The event aims to showcase the Tennessee Whiskey Trail and offer attendees the opportunity to delve into the state’s native spirits across four main themes: culinary excellence, cocktail creativity, spirited competition, and engaging activations at member distilleries of the Trail.
