The Whiskey Riot Festival makes its way to Houston, bringing over 200 whiskeys to taste under one roof. Whether you’re new to whiskey or you’ve been collecting bottles for years, this event is designed to help you discover new favorites, learn from distillers, and have a great time doing it.
Your ticket gets you access to a massive lineup of whiskies, plus more than a few perks:
General Admission ($90 + fees): 200+ whiskey samples, a branded tasting glass, and access to whiskey cocktails from major and craft brands.
Early Entry ($120 + fees): Everything in GA, plus one hour early entry and access to exclusive limited edition and rare pours.
This event sells out every year — don’t sleep on tickets.
Why You Should Go
There’s simply no better way to explore whiskey than side-by-side comparison tastings. Brand reps, educators, and whiskey makers will be on-site to share their passion and pour their best. It’s a chance to explore the world of whiskey in one afternoon — without buying hundreds of bottles.
You’ll also find food and merch for sale, plus plenty of water to keep things balanced (and civilized).
