OLD FOURTH WARD DISTILLERY MAKE AND TASTE/LUMINARY DINNER
Not your Typical Saturday Night
Saturday night’s all right for your party of eight to make and taste killer spirits at Old Fourth Ward Distillery (O4D), Atlanta’s first liquor distiller since Prohibition. Engineered by a few guys who like to make what they like to drink, O4D currently translates to gin, vodka and whiskey. You will mix your own small barrel of gin after a personal tour of O4D, and then head to Top Chef alum Eli Kirshtein's white-hot Parisian-style brasserie, The Luminary, for a three course dinner with wine pairings. Located a mile away in the new cool kids hangout, Krog Street Market, The Luminary is an inspired take on locally sourced French classics. (Trust us, the steak frites and croque monsieur are to die for!). After the meal, enjoy drinks from your own batch back at O4D.
•
Dinner and distillery tour for up to eight people
•
Chauffeured transportation for the evening to and from your home
•
Small take-home batch of the gin you made at O4D
•
Each member of your party receives O4D swag (collector’s items—seriously!)
•
Winning bidder receives an entire case of O4D Vodka (Bottoms up!)
Value: Priceless
