With a theme that is “Aged Well” for 2012, Tales of the Cocktail is the world’s premiere cocktail festival that brings together the most respected minds on mixology for 5 days of cocktails, cuisine and culture.

This is the only festival focused on the craft of the bartender and education. Following on the success of Tales of the Cocktail, other festivals have been launched around the country. Tales of the Cocktail tells BourbonBlog.com that none is committed to furthering the industry and providing support to bartenders, bar owners and future mixologists ( through The New Orleans Culinary and Cultural Preservation Society) as this festival.

Cocktail Apprentice Scholarship Program gives apprentices the opportunity to continue education in mixology from a minimum $30,000 scholarship fund annually. This is the 5th Year of Cocktail Apprentice Program with 60 total apprentices from Australia to Tampa [culled from 300-400 applicants] The apprentices help to execute events at Tales.
