The Southern
Food & Beverage Foundation (SoFAB) will be hosting a "Parade Route Party" in their Gumbo
Garden on Saturday, February 19, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Guests will
enjoy Redemption Rye Whiskey tastings, champagne and wine by Patron
Saint, food from Luncheon,
and king cake from Bayou Saint Cake. Plus, they'll enter a raffle where
they can win a Bayou Saint Cake king cake made by Chef Bronwen Wyatt.
The "Parade
Route Party" is part of an event series called The Year of American Whiskey,
which celebrates the history and culture behind the famous drink with tastings,
education, and community. The New Orleans Bourbon Festival and Museum of the American Cocktail (MOTAC) are working with SoFAB to make it
successful.
"[We] wanted
to provide year-round programming and partnering with SoFAB allows us to bring
great whiskey events to our community, beyond our annual March festival," New
Orleans Bourbon Festival founder Tracey Napolitano said.
Whiskey fans
have plenty to look forward to each month. Distilleries such as Old
Forester, Jack Daniel's, and Wild Turkey will also be visiting the Gumbo
Gardens. After February, Maker's Mark will be visiting on Wednesday,
March 23.
"I'm excited
to learn more about the spirit during 2022 and allow our visitors the ability
to taste, experience, and learn about some of the best spirits and producers in
the United States," President and CEO of SoFAB Brent Rosen said.
Tickets for
the "Parade Route Party" will cost $20. Guests will also have access to the
museum and enter the raffle.
