Join Us For the 2025 Southern Food & Whiskey Experience
The premier whiskey and food event in the South is back!
Join us for an experience you'll never forget.
Your journey begins in The Tasting Room where we're featuring another 40 distilleries offering 150+ spirits. Sample as many of them as you'd like (responsibly, of course).
Next stop is The Pairings Room, where ten local chefs will join forces with ten distilleries to create never-before-done food and whiskey pairings.
Take time to peruse The Whiskey Lifestyle section, where we've partnered with incredible vendors that cater to the whiskey aficionado's lifestyle.
Don’t forget the Premium Cigar Experience hosted by Franklins own Poppa P’s Smoke Shoppe.
All of these incredible experiences are included with your ticket.
Upgrade to a VIP ticket and get early entrance into the event (5pm) with exclusive distiller pours plus access to the VIP lounge throughout the evening.
Want to make a day of it? Get the VIP+Early Cigar Lounge ticket for a curated experience like none other. You'll get everything above, plus access to the cigar lounge at 4pm with a premium cigar included, and the SWS staff will check you in so you can walk into the event and start enjoying the VIP pours.
Space is limited and we will sell out.
Get your tickets before they're gone!

Absolutely! They can enter the event whenever you do. We'll have non-alcoholic drinks available, and they can still enjoy all the bites. They will NOT be able to go up into the VIP lounge with you.
We'll send info about 2026 out very soon!
No problem. Shoot a quick email to howdy@southernwhiskeysociety.com and we'll get back to you ASAP.
