The Tennessee Whiskey Trail is hosting its second annual “Whiskey Week” this May and taking the celebration statewide, including a week of events and promotions paying homage to Tennessee’s spirits, cuisine and culture in East Tennessee.
East Tennessee’s Whiskey Week will take place from May 3-11, packed with events like distillery tours, live music, and local cocktail and food specials at participating restaurants.
There will also be several ticketed Master Distiller-Chef dinners, where chefs at select East Tennessee restaurants will create customized menus based on a Tennessee spirit brand.
This celebration will be a chance for Tennesseans and tourists to experience the Trail and savor the state’s native spirits through four key areas: culinary, cocktails, competition, and activations at the Trail’s member distilleries.

Middle Tennessee’s Whiskey Week will be May 12-23, and West Tennessee’s Whiskey Week will be May 20-25. Visit Tennessee Whiskey Week for additional details, discounts, and a full list of events.

Six years ago, the Tennessee Whiskey Trail was launched by the Tennessee Distillers Guild as a celebration of our state and its signature spirits. Today we host more than 30 stops across the state, offering a taste of Tennessee and a road map for adventure. Visitors to the Trail can soak up the sights and sounds that have been shaped by Tennessee whiskey, whether stopping by for a sip or making a weekend of it.
