Join us for the first taste of a collaboration rooted in Western North Carolina.

The North Carolina Arboretum and Chemist Spirits have come together to create a one-of-a-kind botanical vodka featuring botanicals harvested from the Arboretum and transformed by Chemist Spirits. Your ticket includes one specialty cocktail featuring the new botanical vodka, along with light bites. Additional beverages will be available for purchase.

Want a peek behind the scenes? A limited number of guests may add on a 5:00 p.m. tour of Chemist Spirits’ distillery before First Pour. A First Pour event ticket is required to participate in the tour.
