Women Who Whiskey Twin Cities - Duluth Distillery Double Header
About this Event
Transportation is not included with your ticket, so if you're in the Twin Cities, plan to carpool with friends or make a weekend out of it! Recommendations for public or semi-private transportation (via bus or shuttle) will be shared upon request. If you're a Twin Ports area local, we are so excited to welcome you to Women Who Whiskey Twin Cities and look forward to future Duluth-area events!
Your first stop will be Canal Park's Vikre Distillery, a woman-owned business and the first distillery to open to the public in Duluth in 2014. We will settle into the private Barrel Room with lunch from Northern Waters Smokehaus, included with your ticket, then embark on a facility tour and guided tasting with founder Emily Vikre. Afterward, enjoy a cocktail and peruse the gift shop to make any bottle and merch purchases.
Next, head over to the buzzy Lincoln Park neighborhood to visit the newly opened Duluth Whiskey Project. While the cocktail room opened to the public in July 2025, the Duluth Whiskey Project has been in the making since 2013! We will enjoy a welcome cocktail, then hear from one of the brand’s founders for a tour and tasting. After the program, there will be time for bottle or merch purchases or purchasing additional food or drink.
Tickets are $135 and include private tours and tastings at each distillery, one cocktail at each distillery, lunch, gratuity, local sales tax, and ticket processing fees.

About Vikre Distillery
With Responsibility (to people and planet), Hospitality, and Playful Progress at the center of the brand’s ethos, Vikre Distillery blends northern Minnesota culture and Nordic heritage. Botanical flavors from the earth, captured in a bottle by a true expert, make Vikre best known for gins and Aquavit, but its growing whiskey portfolio also deserves attention. Made with Lake Superior water and grains sourced within 50 miles of the distillery, the Temperance River Rye, Sugarbush maple-cask-finished Whiskey, and the Honor Brand Hay & Sunshine blended whiskey complement Vikre’s clear spirits lineup.
About Duluth Whiskey Project
Focusing on sourcing local ingredients, from the grains to the malt and yeast, and even down to the Minnesota oak barrels and locally printed labels, Duluth Whiskey Project sets out to create something "as brisk, lively, and flavorful" as Duluth, "while being as warm and welcoming as the people who live there." From creative flavored whiskies (Cider, Shandy, Grape, you name it!), blends, and RTDs, to the 6-year bottled-in-bond "Captain" straight bourbon, there is a whiskey in the lineup for everyone, even those who don't think they like whiskey.
