Tasting rooms have suffered immensely as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. From significant losses in sales to job losses, distilleries with tasting rooms have a lot of work ahead of them to gain from the losses they have endured. In addition to that, distilleries have to navigate safety and health recommendations from the local, state and federal level. Panelists will discuss how they have coped with re-opening their tasting rooms while giving attendees advice on how to successfully run a tasting room post Covid.

Learning Outcomes:
