Golden State of Cocktails – Los Angeles, January 27-30
Cocktail weeks and festivals are part of the fun of booze travel. I started a calendar a few years ago to keep track of them all. It’s been wonderful to see new cocktail fests pop up all over the world. Some highlights this month include the San Antonio Cocktail Conference (which opens today) and Los Angeles will welcome the Golden State of Cocktails, a cocktail festival in its first year. In February, Arizona Cocktail Week kicks off in Phoenix and Scottsdale over Valentine’s Day/ Presidents’ Day weekend. I’m also really looking forward to the second Bartenders Weekend in San Diego in March.
Here are the rest of the events for the next three months.
