The Experience
Hoochenanny Whiskey Festival
The inaugural Hoochenanny Whiskey Festival is a celebration of NY craftsmanship pairing local culinary, craft whiskey, and cocktails with an invigorating music lineup that includes regional and national artists.
Our tagline “Cultivate the Uncommon,” reflects our commitment to celebrating the extraordinary and pushing boundaries.

Featuring fan favorite brands from across the state, including specially-curated distillers from the NYSDG, the Rickhouse will deliver programming that invigorates the spirit and tantalizes the palate.
This festival will invigorate your spirit and tantalize your palette with the perfect blend of local culture, community, and hospitality.
