Camden Valley Inn (CVI) continues to build on its reputation as a popular destination for events, food and entertainment, moving from a sold-out whiskey experience for Father’s Day into a live music activation with Tooheys later this month.
The venue has raised a glass to a successful Father’s Day celebration after 108 guests gathered for an evening of whiskey, food and storytelling.
Held on Friday, 4 September, the Jack Daniel’s Whiskey Masterclass featured State Brand Ambassador Andy Tsai, who guided guests through a tasting of five Jack Daniel’s products, plus a bonus sixth pour.
The two-hour experience combined whiskey tastings with a three-course menu, including 12-hour slow-roasted pork belly, smoked slow-roasted beef brisket and a chocolate ganache tart.
Tsai also shared insights into the history, craftsmanship and production behind the iconic Tennessee whiskey brand.
Camden Valley Inn Events and Marketing Manager Brooke Walden said the evening was better than hoped, with guests quick to praise the experience.
“The Jack Daniel’s Whiskey Tasting night was a great success and very much enjoyed by our guests,” Walden told PubTIC.
“We had nothing but rave reviews from the patrons who attended, and they tell us they can’t wait for the next one.”
While no date has been confirmed, Walden said the strong response had the venue keen to bring the event back next September.
Following the success of their Father’s Day event, CVI has switched gears to bring Tooheys on Tour to the historic venue on Saturday, September 26, with a night of live music, pub favourites and Tooheys activations.
CVI’s Lion representative suggested the partnership, which the venue readily took on board.
“The event partners with Triple M so ads have been running on the radio, and Tooheys will be attending on the night,” CVI told PubTIC.
The event builds on the destination pub’s popular country music nights, giving locals another reason to grab their mates, enjoy a cold drink and sing along.
With one event already delivering strong attendance and guest feedback, and another now on the calendar, Camden Valley Inn is continuing to use experiences, brand partnerships and live entertainment to keep its events program moving and give patrons fresh reasons to visit the venue.
