Exceeding Your Expectations For A Whiskey Festival
At the front door, you can expect to drop $20 for a ticket that gets you the event program, access to the buffet, a standard tasting notepad, and pen as well as your very own Glen Cairn glass… But if you can manage one of the few VIP tickets for $200, you’ll land first-hour access, a meet & greet with Dixon Dedman – Master Blender, Innkeeper, Speaker, and Author, a catered meal with carving stations and buffet, a personal deluxe tasting journal and of course the best part: “VIP only access to allocated releases by vendors during VIP hour to include Sazerac, Heaven Hill, etc… This ALONE will make VIP worth it. Rare whiskeys will be on site.” Plus first access to the Hilton room block to book your stay and an invite to the VIP after-party (assuming you’re still standing).
The organizers of The Wisconsin Whiskey Fest are seeking to attract similar crowds to Whisky Live, Whiskies of the World, and WhiskyFest albeit at an entry-level price point to help grow the ranks of Whiskey enthusiasts and build a value and a crowd draw in Milwaukee, renowned for their beers for over a century and now seeking to make their mark in the whiskey world.
