WHISKY SMOKE
1,500 GUESTS / WHISKY & WINE ENTHUSIASTS
A mid-summer opportunity for premium whisky and wine brands to showcase an individual SKU (Whisky) or two SKUs (wine) to an upscale, high-income demographic who are looking to be educated on their next whisky/wine purchase.
Guests in attendance will be able to enjoy 1 sample per showcased whisky (if they enter with a whisky ticket) or 1 sample per showcased wine (if they enter with a wine ticket). These samples are included in their admission ticket and will be available between the hours of 6-9:45pm at the event. Whisky Smoke offers guests an opportunity to taste and learn about the whiskies/wines that are presently on the market, while subconsciously having a brand experience during this sense-activating experience.
Brands will showcase their product to the attendees while they enjoy live thoroughbred racing, delicious catered food and only the finest cigars… all while dressed in derby attire.

Why Participate?
After many years only showcasing whisky, there was an immense amount of requests for the event to showcase wine as well. As such, Whisky Smoke now opens its doors to premium wine brands to access the interested purchasers of wine during this popular wine purchasing season.
How Whisky Smoke Works?
- STEP 1 Exhibitor purchases a booth.
- STEP 2 Exhibitor orders the product that they intend to showcase at the event through Feaster. The product will be ready at the exhibitor booth upon exhibitor’s arrival.
- STEP 3 Exhibitors present their product to guests for them to sip, taste, sample & learn about.
- STEP 4 There are two ticket types to this event: Whisky or Wine. Each guest will be entitled to try one sample of each of the showcased 12x whiskies/cognacs (whisky ticket) or the 24x showcased wines (wine ticket).
- STEP 5 Exhibitors will be billed by Feaster Media, Inc. after the event for their product. It will be billed as a marketing fee (to avoid double PST taxation). All product will be billed at wholesale pricing.
What is the Cost?
All standard 6′ table booths come with shelter and 2 exhibitor passes.
