Wonderbird Spirits is a grain-to-glass gin distillery located right outside of Oxford, MS. They ferment Mississippi Delta rice to make the base spirit using an adapted sake approach. The distillery is the recipient of multiple gold medals from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition as well as the overall winner of the 2021 Garden & Gun Made in the South Awards.

This event is outdoors. Please bring a blanket or lawn chairs and plan accordingly. 

No coolers are allowed at this event. Beer will be for sale on the premises for anyone over 21 years old. Wonderbird will be selling a special Superwolves cocktail for the event as well as full bar service inside the distillery. Proceeds from the bar will be donated to MusiCares as well.

This event is kid friendly. You do not need a ticket for anyone under the age of 12. 

Dogs are allowed but must be kept on a leash at all times.
