Celebrating the Art of Distilled Spirits & Craft Cocktails
The Craft Spirits Festival – the original exhibition of craft, small batch & artisanal spirits in Miami – will return for a 2nd year from October 1st – 9th. This year’s festival will focus not only on celebrating and educating the public on Craft Spirits but on Craft Cocktails as well. There will be a weeklong series of events, including Seminars, Tours, Parties, Happy Hours, Cocktail Dinners and Industry/VIP only events in and around Miami. The culmination of the CRAFT SPIRITS FESTIVAL will be the Grand Tasting. The Grand Tasting will take place on Thursday, October 9th from 7-11pm in the New Orleans-inspired iconic Cruz Building in the heart of Coconut Grove to showcase producers of whiskies, rums, vodkas, gins and other distinct spirits and beverages, as well as the bartenders/mixologists that prepare amazing cocktails. More than 30 exhibitors will be showcasing 100+ distinct spirits. Attendees will be able to enjoy these UNLIMITED samples plus fine inspired hors d’oeuvres by some of the best local chefs in Miami. Participating cuisines include Grove favorites such as Calamari Seafood Restaurant, Tk’s at the Villa Mayfair, La Gamba Restaurant, and Strada to name a few.
South Florida is regarded as a fertile market for growth in the craft/small batch/artisanal spirits market. CRAFT SPIRITS FESTIVAL will provide the avenue in which producers and consumers can meet, interact, educate and celebrate.
“We want to provide a venue for the consumer to meet and interact with distillers and ambassadors of craft, small batch, and artisanal spirits; in an environment conducive to quality communication. There is no better opportunity for the connoisseur and budding aficionado to sample and celebrate such a vast selection of spirits in one place. People want to learn about these incredible products, we want to provide the classroom,” — Eddie Delamaza, Founder of Craft Spirits Festival
Grand Tasting tickets are available for $75 and include admission from 7-11pm. A very limited number of tickets are available to the public. Special event ticketing options will be available through the website, social media and special promotions.
