Hey y’all! We’re back with another special-edition newsletter, as promised. This time, we’re covering Tales of the Cocktail and all the amazing events happening across New Orleans next week.
But before we get into the events, let’s talk a little about what Tales of the Cocktail is and why it’s one of our favorite weeks of the year.
For five days, the city fills up with bartenders, hospitality professionals, spirits brands, cocktail lovers, and people from all over the world who come to learn, connect, taste, and celebrate.
And the best part? You do not have to be a longtime industry professional to enjoy it.
Whether you have worked in hospitality for years, are looking to get into the industry, or simply love a good cocktail and a fun event, Tales has something for you.
Here is how the week works:
The official Tales of the Cocktail conference includes seminars, workshops, tasting rooms, and other educational programming at The Ritz-Carlton and venues throughout the city. These events require a conference ticket, which we will link below.
Outside of the official conference, there are also hundreds of events happening all over New Orleans throughout the week. Think brand pop-ups, guest bartender shifts, happy hours, dinners, parties, networking events, and plenty more.
Many of those events are open to the public and simply require an RSVP.
Below, you will find the official link and details you need to plan your week, day-by-day list of public events, RSVP links, and some favorite events we think are worth adding to your social calendar!
Whether this is your first Tales or you have been attending for years, prepare for a very full and very fun week!
