Fountainbleau + Pre-Function Tasting Room (Sponsorship Fee: $7,420.00)

FOUNTAINBLEAU + PRE-FUNCTION TASTING ROOM: $7,000 Sponsorship Fee + $420 Sustainability Fee

EXPERIENTIAL TASTINGS. LARGE FORMAT GROUP TASTING ROOM

Fountainbleu + Pre-Function Tasting Room is the perfect space to host multi-groups, partners, or portfolios in the same room for maximum visibility on multiple spirits simultaneously. Gather your crew and magnify your presence at TOTC2026.

Discounted rates are available for Fountainbleau + Pre-Function activations hosted on Sunday, offering brands a high-impact, cost-effective opportunity to engage attendees during days with fewer concurrent sponsor activations.

If you're interested in a multiple-day activation, we encourage you to check out our Week-Long Tastings. All Tasting Room activations are responsible for the underwriting of the spirits they order, and they must be ordered through the Foundation.
