About this Event
Fresno Whisky & Cigar Social — A Summer Tasting Experience
Join us at Tamari Robatayaki & Whisky Bar for an exclusive in-person event on September 10, 2026 at 6:00 PM (Pacific Time). This social gathering offers a unique opportunity to explore a curated selection of whiskies paired with premium cigars in a relaxed and sophisticated setting.
Fresno Whisky & Cigar Social — A Summer Tasting Experience, an intimate summer evening built around great whisky, premium cigars, Japanese-inspired bites, and relaxed conversation.
Hosted at Tamari Robatayaki & Whisky Bar in Fresno, this limited-capacity experience brings together whisky enthusiasts, cigar lovers, local professionals, and curious newcomers for an easygoing evening without presentations, speakers, or a rigid program.
Your Whisky & Cigar Passport gives you access to a curated tasting experience featuring three whisky pours, summer appetizer samplers, hot robata-grilled bites, and a premium cigar.
Move at your own pace between the indoor whisky bar and outdoor patio. Explore different whisky profiles, enjoy your cigar outdoors, sample food throughout the evening, or simply settle in and enjoy the atmosphere.
Because Fresno summer temperatures can remain high into the evening, the outdoor patio will include misting fans or another suitable cooling solution during the event.
The patio will also be arranged with separate zones: a designated cigar area and a separate non-smoking outdoor seating area for guests who want to enjoy fresh air, food, or drinks without being exposed to cigar smoke.
No presentations. No formal programming. Just a relaxed premium tasting experience.
Attendance is intentionally limited to maintain a comfortable, intimate environment.
What Your Evening Includes 🥃 Curated Whisky Tasting
Explore a selection of whisky styles through three tasting pours included with your Whisky & Cigar Passport.
Discover different flavor profiles and choose selections that match your preferences.
Additional premium and specialty pours may be available for purchase directly from the bar.
💨 Premium Cigar Experience
Each paid Passport includes one premium cigar to enjoy in the designated outdoor cigar area.
The cigar section will be positioned separately from the non-smoking patio seating area to help minimize smoke exposure for guests who prefer not to smoke.
Guests can relax outdoors and enjoy the cigar experience at their own pace throughout the evening, subject to venue rules and applicable regulations.
🔥 Robata Bites & Summer Appetizers
Enjoy a selection of appetizer samplers alongside freshly prepared hot robata-grilled bites.
Food is incorporated throughout the experience, making this more than a standard whisky tasting.
💬 Open-Format Summer Social
There is no formal presentation or structured networking program.
Guests are free to move between the indoor bar, the designated cigar patio area, and the separate non-smoking outdoor seating area, taste whisky, enjoy food, meet other attendees, and experience the evening however they prefer.
