Overview Long Island Whiskey Fest is an afternoon tasting session with more than 100 styles of whiskey and spirits on pour, from Kentucky bourbon and Irish whiskey to tequila, vodka and local brews, and the producer bills it as a chance to meet the distillers, master blenders and other whiskey experts behind them. It is the Long Island stop of Evan Berman Productions' Whiskey Fest series, which also runs in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Jersey City and Asbury Park; the 2026 edition ran on a Saturday in May at the Tanger Outlets in Deer Park, from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Evan Berman Productions stages more than 25 live events a year, beer, wine, cocktail and food-truck festivals among them, at venues that have included Nassau Coliseum, the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Industry City, and it took its festivals to Florida in 2021. On site A ticket buys a souvenir tasting glass and samples across the room, with live music and food for sale. It is 21 and over with photo ID. There are no children, pets or bags, and no re-entry once a guest leaves. Designated drivers get their own wristband and no glass. Brands can run seminars from a 10-by-15-foot seminar space with a portable microphone, up to two per session. Audience Evan Berman Productions says many of its guests come back event after event, and it keeps in touch with them through an email list of 50,000. Brand presence Brands pour at their own tables; the series' 2026 New York edition listed more than 40, among them Tomintoul, Glencadam, Rampur, Bardstown Bourbon and Green River. The top partner level adds a seminar slot, premium placement on the floor and the photo booth, and both top levels put the partner's logo on the souvenir glass and the wristband every guest receives. A photo booth partner's logo lands on every picture, and the pictures go out to guests by email.
