A Journey Through America: Understanding American Whiskey

Raise your glass, to our new collection of Whiskey & Wine glasses coming soon to the Glassworks!

In making their debut, we've planned an evening of professional whiskey tasting, led by Russ, owner of Speaking of Grapes and Grains. Join us June 6th from 5-7pm at Wimberley Glassworks.

Gain new knowledge and understanding for Whiskey history, insights, mystic, heritage and new discovery. Did you know that all Bourbon is whiskey but not all whiskey is Bourbon? We'll be tasting eight American Whiskies, lightest to heaviest, along with lite bites and treats to cleanse the palate.
