• Whiskey: Scotch, bourbon, single malt – it’ll all be here for you to sample on Saturday when you purchase your ticket. From whiskey enthusiasts to casual sippers, you’ll have no trouble finding your new favorite libation to fill your Winter Park shot glass (included with your ticket!). Samples will be provided by a collection of local Colorado distilleries and beyond!
