Duluth Distillery Double Header by Women Who Whiskey Twin Cities
Join Women Who Whiskey Twin Cities on the road. Introducing the first event outside the Metro for a Duluth Distillery double header. While the event is open to all, this particular one is intended for women and non-binary folks only, please. All women are welcome.
The first stop is Canal Park’s Vikre Distillery, a woman-owned business and the first distillery to open to the public in Duluth in 2014. Participants enjoy the private Barrel Room with lunch from Northern Waters Smokehaus then embark on a facility tour and guided tasting with founder Emily Vikre. Afterward, enjoy a cocktail and peruse the gift shop to make any bottle and merch purchases.
The next stop is Duluth Whiskey Project. Enjoy a welcome cocktail, then hear from one of the brand’s founders for a tour and tasting. After the program, there will be time for bottle or merch purchases or purchasing additional food or drink.
Tickets include private tours and tastings at each distillery, one cocktail at each distillery, lunch, gratuity, local sales tax, and ticket processing fees.
Parking information and additional details will be emailed to ticketholders prior to the event. Please plan on a safe ride, we encourage our guests to consider shuttle and public transportation options or splitting rideshare services.
Tickets are available at eventbrite.com.
Women’s Words on KUMD
I love this new(ish) show on KUMD. Check out recordings from past shows here [Jill Hinners, Deborah Cooper, Cheryl Reitan, Sheila Packa, Gail Trowbridge, Meredith Cornett (total self-promotion, please forgive me), and many others!]. “Women’s Words” airs at ~1:30 and 3:30 p.m. on Sundays as part of the Women’s Music Show. If you are a (woman) writer willing to do a short reading from your work, they want to hear from you!
