George Washington Whiskey Festival

The George Washington Whiskey Festival will feature spirits from about a dozen Virginia distilleries.

In addition to food available for purchase, learn about the history of distilled products, watch coopering demonstrations, live music and entertainment and more.

The festival will also celebrate the debut of a new batch of George Washington straight Rye Whiskey, which is already available at Mount Vernon for purchase.

The whiskey was distilled at George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate distillery using the first president's original recipe and aged in charred oak barrels for four years.

Tickets for the festival are $85 per person and are on sale now at mountvernon.org/whiskeyfest.
