Long Beach, get ready to raise your glass to a whiskey experience like no other.

This Sunday, January 19, 2025, Roxanne’s is hosting Whiskey Wonderland: Land of the Future from 12 PM to 6 PM, and let me tell you, this is not your uncle’s whiskey tasting.

Picture this: a day packed with futuristic sips, immersive experiences, and enough good vibes to carry you into next week. Whether you’re a whiskey connoisseur or just love a reason to gather with friends, this event is serving up something for everyone, with a splash of community and a twist of innovation.

Why You Need to Be Here

Let’s start with The Whiskey Lab, a mixology playground that’s basically an open invitation to experiment with bold new flavors. Always wanted to try your hand at creating the perfect whiskey cocktail? Here’s your chance to geek out with fellow enthusiasts and sip on your own creations.

Next up, the Futuristic Tasting Floor, where you can sample whiskies from brands that are pushing boundaries and setting the trends. This isn’t your average whiskey flight—it’s a taste of what’s coming next in the world of spirits.

If you’re like me and love a good backstory, you’ll appreciate Marie’s Tek Tec, a museum-style experience that takes you through the evolution of whiskey-making. It’s part history lesson, part hands-on fun, and all-around inspiring.

And if you’ve got the kiddos in tow (or just want a break from the whiskey), check out The Space Café—a family-friendly zone with science experiments, games, and bites that’ll keep everyone happy.

More Than Whiskey

Let’s talk food because no whiskey adventure is complete without something delicious to soak it all up. The smash burgers? Legendary. The artisan marketplace? Perfect for finding those one-of-a-kind treasures (hello, locally made gifts). And the live music? Let’s just say you’ll be vibing from start to finish.

For the true whiskey lovers, the VIP package is where it’s at. Guided by the geniuses at the Center for Culinary Culture, you’ll dive into a masterclass featuring rare and premium whiskies. Trust me, this isn’t just a tasting—it’s a full-on whiskey education.
