Register for this event

On Tuesday, February 16, please join us for a tour and whiskey tasting at the Hiram Walker distillery, a fascinating part of Windsor’s history. From the Walker family’s connections with some of the most famous people of the industrial age, to the Prohibition-era role its whiskies played in quenching the thirst of US citizens, the tour provides a unique (and delicious) opportunity to reflect on how border culture shaped the city of Windsor. You’ll visit the basement’s speakeasy room, where meetings were held with Al Capone and The Purple Gang, as well as Hiram’s Sampling Room and its impressive Canadian Art Gallery. The tour finishes with a formal whisky tasting of four award-winning Canadian Club whiskies.

Tuesday, February 16, 7:30 pm – 9:15 pm
Cost: $15.00 at the door
Transportation to and from the Opening Reception will be provided free of charge. Please meet us in the lobby of the University of Windsor 167 Ferry building.
