A Cultural Experience Not Just an Event
HerStory & Spirits is a curated women’s spirits tasting experience designed for those who want more than a typical night out.At the center of each event is a guided spirits tasting paired with meaningful conversation, thoughtful programming, and a room designed for women to connect beyond surface level.
This is not about industry access alone. It is about creating space for women across business, creative, professional, and entrepreneurial worlds to come together, share perspective, and enjoy the richness of premium spirits in an environment that feels refined, welcoming, and intentional.
The Experience
HerStory & Spirits hosts curated tasting experiences in select cities, including Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus and surrounding markets. Each event is designed to reflect the energy of the city while maintaining the signature experience.
Guided Tasting with Curated Spirits
Each experience features a curated spirits tasting that invites guests to explore what’s in the glass with confidence and curiosity. Our experts make the education approachable, engaging, and designed for both seasoned enthusiasts and women simply looking to learn something new about their spirit.
Networking Social
At the heart of the evening is a conversation with women making an impact in their fields. From entrepreneurs and creatives to professionals and community leaders, the panel brings together different voices, different journeys, and honest reflections on ambition, growth, no recycled talking points. Real women. Real experiences.
Welcome Reception
No awkward intros. No forced energy. Just a room that opens up naturally, with women who know how to carry a conversation. The opening hour sets the tone with cocktails, conversation, and the kind of energy that makes introductions feel easy.
HerStory Panel
The evening closes the way the best gatherings do: with continued conversation, new connections, and the sense that the room held something worth being part of. The “we need to connect after this” moments.
Who This Is For
HerStory & Spirits is for the woman who enjoys getting dressed for something that feels worth it. The woman who values good conversation, thoughtful environments, and being in a room with other women who are building, leading, creating, and evolving.
Our guests include:
Entrepreneurs and Founders
Corporate and Professional women
