Raise a Glass to Culture and Camaraderie at the 2025 Alexandria Sister Cities’ Whisky Tasting Event
The City of Alexandria’s Sister Cities Committee invites whisky lovers and curious sippers alike to its annual signature event—the 2025 Alexandria Sister Cities’ Whisky Tasting, held at the Alexandria History Museum at The Lyceum (201 South Washington Street) on Saturday, April 26 at 5 p.m.
Guests will enjoy a guided tasting across the five whisky regions of Scotland, gaining insights into the craftsmanship and culture behind each pour. This informative program will help you learn all about the rich tapestry that is Scotch whisky, enable you to sample five different whiskies from across Scotland, and provide an opportunity to ask questions and share personal insights. VIP ticket holders will receive two additional exclusive samples of rare whiskies. All attendees will take home a souvenir Glencairn glass, perfect for continuing their whisky journey.
Tickets are $60 for general admission and $80 for VIP, with hors d’oeuvres included. Wine and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for non-whisky drinkers. A raffle will also be held with prizes, with tickets available for cash purchase at the event. Minimum age: 21.
All proceeds support the Alexandria Sister Cities Committee and its mission to support the educational and cultural exchanges between Alexandria, VA and her sister cities of Dundee, Scotland and Helsingborg, Sweden.
