In Person Blending Lab Experience with Doc Swinson's Jesse Parker

Overview

Join Virtual Tasting Society for our first-ever destination trip to the Pacific Northwest!

We are excited to host our first “VTS Destination Trip”

Those of you who joined us last year for our Doc Swinson’s tasting with Jesse Parker remember that he offered to host us for a blending masterclass where we could come visit the brand and create our own custom blend. Well, careful what you wish for! :D

Jesse and I have been working hard behind the scenes to set up an amazing trip for the group and its finally time to release the information.
