VIP Tasting Experiences are designed for every type of bourbon fan — from longtime collectors and seasoned whiskey enthusiasts to riders just beginning their bourbon journey.

Hosted by featured distilleries, bourbon experts, brand ambassadors, and special guests, these intimate tasting sessions offer a unique opportunity to explore exceptional pours and hear the stories behind them in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere at Bourbon Base Camp.

The Bourbon Burn team will once again host multiple VIP Tasting Experiences throughout Friday and Saturday evening during the 2026 event weekend. Additional distillery partners, featured tastings, and special guests will be announced as they are confirmed.

Due to the limited capacity of the VIP Tasting Tent, ticket quantities may be limited for select experiences.

VIP Tasting Experiences are available exclusively to registered 2026 riders and their registered non-riding guests. Please note that VIP Experiences are not included with event registration and must be purchased separately.
