What Is Whiskey & Fire? A Flavor-Fueled Collaboration Between Whiskies of the World and Heritage Fire
There’s a new kind of tasting event on the horizon—and it’s heating up fast. Whiskey & Fire is a brand-new event series taking over ten cities across the U.S., bringing together world-class spirits and flame-kissed cuisine for an experience that’s bold, flavorful, and entirely unique.
But what exactly is Whiskey & Fire—and how did it come to be?
Let’s break it down.
What Is Whiskies of the World?
Whiskies of the World is one of the country’s leading spirits festivals, celebrating whiskey in all its forms—from smoky Islay scotches to small-batch American bourbons, innovative world whiskeys, and everything in between.
Guests at Whiskies of the World events enjoy guided tastings, meet-the-maker moments, educational masterclasses, and access to hundreds of pours from both household names and up-and-coming craft distilleries. It’s a must-attend event for curious newcomers and seasoned whiskey enthusiasts alike.
What Is Heritage Fire?
Heritage Fire is a nationwide live-fire food festival showcasing the talents of top local chefs, pitmasters, and culinary artisans. At each event, guests enjoy an open-air, walk-around tasting experience where everything is cooked over live flame—celebrating sustainable sourcing, whole animal cooking, and regional ingred
Heritage Fire is known for its strong sense of place—each city’s lineup of chefs and flavors reflects its local culinary culture. Add in wine, beer, and spirit tastings, and it’s a true food lover’s paradise.
So, What Is Whiskey & Fire?
Whiskey & Fire is the best of both festivals—combined. For the first time, Whiskies of the World and Heritage Fire are teaming up to create a one-of-a-kind experience that brings together exceptional whiskey tastings with unforgettable open-fire cooking.
Each Whiskey & Fire event features
