Skip the bar and impress your friends with the best cocktail party of the century.
Get your drink on and raise your cocktail glass in celebration of the best party since the Prohibition era at the NW Distillery and Cocktail Festival. The event is a two-day festival that will feature live music, seminars and an opportunity to taste some of the Emerald City’s best drinks.
Kick-off the festival (Wednesday, August 8th) with cocktail seminars that focus on professional tasting, mixology and the art of distilling. Follow up that evening with a cocktail competition and watch the city’s most celebrated bartenders compete for the best cocktail and mixologist in the NW region. The winner of the competition will be featured at the Grand Tasting event.
