A reminder to secure your tickets before you arrive at Base Camp!
All VIP Tasting Experiences were Sold Out in 2024!

These fun, interactive tastings, led by industry experts such as Whiskey Hosts, Master Tasters, Bourbon Legends and Brand Ambassadors are designed for any Burn participant ranging from the seasoned whiskey warrior to the freshly-minted bourbon rookie.

Similar to year’s past, The Burn team will be hosting TWO VIP Tasting Experiences each evening at Bourbon Base Camp on both Friday and Saturday nights in 2025. And this year we’re delighted to be welcoming two new distillers to the VIP Tasting Tent for the very first time- Heaven Hill and Whiskey Thief Distillery.

Please note that due to the limited number of seats in the tasting tent, Burn participants may purchase up to four tickets per VIP Tasting Experience. But, while riders may only purchase up to four tickets for a single VIP session, they may purchase tickets for as many separate VIP Experiences as they wish.

Also note that VIP Tasting Experiences are only available to 2025 registered riders and their non-riding registered guests. And finally, VIP Tasting Experiences are not included in participant registration and must be booked separately.
