Trends / Food & Drink

Whisky aficionados in the Los Angeles, Calif., area, look out for the Whisky Extravaganza at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel Nov. 16. This special event includes master classes, featuring professional spirits buyers, tasters and brand ambassadors specializing in top-notch whiskies.

The main event, the tasting, begins at 7:30 p.m. and includes three hours of incredible whisky pours for ticket holders. Go as a couple or in a group of friends for $150 per person and enjoy spirits, souvenir glasses and access to master classes prior to the tasting event. Get a bigger group together of eight or more and reserve a table for $135 per person.

Check out the Whisky Extravaganza’s site for more information about upcoming events around the country. Next up on the event tour schedule are stops in Ft. Lauderdale, Denver, Houston, Dallas and New York — with specific dates and venues still to be determined.

Show off your elitist taste to friends or broaden your fine spirits horizons with a special night out. Enjoy a different part of your city in a new way or make an excuse to get out and visit one of the swankier hotels.

Looking for ways to explore your passion for fine spirits? Register to be a volunteer at one of the Extravaganza’s next events.
