Pour, Connect, and Be Remembered
A curated tasting experience — not a crowded maze of tents.
At Cigars, Bourbon & Benefactors, we bring together a select group of breweries, distilleries, wineries, and craft beverage innovators who value genuine engagement over mass-market chaos. Guests arrive ready to learn, taste, and connect — and they do just that in a relaxed, premium setting that feels more like a distillery campus than a trade show.
WHY PARTNER WITH US
An Audience That Appreciates Craft
This is not a shoulder-to-shoulder, quick-grab tasting. Our guests seek depth — conversation, story, and quality — not crowds. Many are business leaders, hospitality professionals, and community influencers who value premium beverages and authentic interactions.
Stand Among Respected Names
In 2025, our tasting partners included respected brands such as Redemption, Bib & Tucker, 2XO, Oaklore Distilling, Luxco, Beam Suntory, Old Elk, Bardstown Distilling Co., High West, Weldon Mills, Brown-Forman, Broken Shed Vodka, Southern Distilling, Ole Smoky, and Tanteo Tequila. While bourbon is our star, we celebrate all premium spirits — whiskey, vodka, gin, tequila, and cocktails featuring them.
Your brand will be in excellent company and in front of guests who want to discover and connect with you.
DESIGN YOUR EXPERIENCE
You’re not boxed into a generic booth. Your activation — whether elaborate or minimalist — tells your story, your way.
Setup Options:
- Arrive the day of the event for a straightforward tasting setup
- Arrive up to two days early for a more leisurely build
Branding & Décor:
Bring your own:
- Banners, branded décor, and signage
- Specialty glassware and tasting tools
Or use ours:
- 24″ x 8′ tables
- Event-branded linens, cups, ice, napkins, and serving ware
Some partners create entire lounge atmospheres with fire pits, barrel displays, and soft seating; others keep it simple and elegant. Both work beautifully.
