Washington area spirit lovers braved the chilly November weather and gathered at Dock 5 on November 15, 2018 for Washingtonian’s 7th annual Whiskey & Fine Spirits Festival. Guests enjoyed unlimited tastes of premium spirits like whiskey, scotch, bourbon, vodka, gin, tequila and rum from over 20 distilleries and distributors. Ridgewells Catering provided delicious light bites to attendees as they grooved to beats by Pike Productions.
Attendees were able to peruse the new Porsche Cayenne vehicles that were located at the entrance of the event as well as relax in United Airline‘s Polaris Lounge seats while sipping on Old Fashioned’s from the airline’s speciality bar. A modern twist on art deco decor was provided by Amaryllis Floral & Event Design that featured gorgeous oversized floral installations and plush lounges for guests to mingle in. Between sips, guests could have their personal tasting glass etched by Meant To Be Calligraphy, select a cigar from the 3 Stogies Cigar Lounge, and create an Instagram video at the OM Digital Video Studio.
