Whether you love Tennessee whiskey or Kentucky bourbon, City Winery has an event that might interest you.

City Winery, which is in Ponce City Market, isn’t limiting your taste buds to just home state spirits, though. You’ll also be able to sample the best of Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina and Texas.
