Join us in the Beverage Garden on the tradeshow floor for a bespoke tasting experience—only open to ticket holders—that will inform the myriad ways you approach beverages and how they are built, garnished, and served. Walk the garden and compare cocktail bitters (i.e., not all bitters of the same "flavor" taste the same!), sample garnishes, assess Bloody Mary mixes, and enjoy a signature cocktail to round out your experience, among other tastes.

Why Wine? Why Not? Elevate Your Catering Offerings Beyond Food with Thao Moore
Food and wine! We hear this term frequently, but how much do you REALLY know about wine? The world of wine can be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be! Chef Thao Moore is WSET Level 3 Wines Certified from Napa Valley Wine Academy. In this session, you will sample beautiful wines that won't break your (or your client's) budget. Thao will break down the basics of wine education and discuss how you can take wine to the next level in your business offerings to include VIP wine and dinner pairings or teach wine classes. You will walk away with knowledge that will help elevate your company and brand. Learn, laugh, and get inspired!
