Staff Report From Savannah CEO

Friday, October 19th, 2018

The Two Hundred Club of the Coastal Empire is again partnering with the Savannah Food and Wine Festival for this year’s “Whisky on the Water” event. The tasting experience will take place from 7-9 p.m. Nov. 6 at the Alida Hotel, 412 Williamson St, Savannah. All ticket proceeds will be donated to the Two Hundred Club, which provides immediate financial assistance to the family members of local law enforcement officers, EMS, and firefighters who lose their lives or are critically injured in the line-of-duty.

The event will not only benefit the Two Hundred Club, a 501(c)(3) organization that serves 18 counties in Georgia and two counties in South Carolina, but also offers an unparalleled opportunity to sample some of the best brands of whisky available. Whisky on the Water is an opportunity for guests to explore the world of whisky at The Alida, one of Savannah’s newest luxury hotels overlooking the Savannah River, while also enjoying great food pairings created by celebrity chefs. Dozens of distillers will be on hand to share their knowledge and passion for fine spirits. Whisky on the Water is sure to satisfy the connoisseur, the amateur alike.

“In previous years, Whisky at The Whitman proved to be a fixture of the Savannah Food and Wine Festival. This year we have a new location, and we expect the event to be just as spectacular,” Two Hundred Club President Mark Dana said. “We could not provide financial assistance and college educations for first responder families in the Coastal Empire without the support and partnerships of local organizations and businesses, like the Food and Wine Festival committee.”

Tickets for this event cost $150 each and can be purchased on the tickets page at www.savannahfoodandwinefest.com.
