ABOUT SIP AWARDS
SIP Awards is the leading international spirits competition judged by consumers. Our mission is to provide brands with authentic feedback from their target audience - their customers. The SoCal Cocktail & Spirits Fest extends that mission by bringing award-winning brands face-to-face with consumers, enthusiasts, buyers, and industry professionals in an engaging, interactive environment.
Attendees will enjoy unlimited tastings from 50+ premium spirits brands, gourmet food, live entertainment, a silent auction, and the opportunity to connect directly with the people behind the brands. The festival is designed to create an unforgettable experience while helping exhibitors increase brand awareness, generate new relationships, and drive future sales.
A portion of event proceeds will benefit MeoowzResQ, a Southern California nonprofit dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming abandoned, abused, and neglected cats and kittens, helping them find safe and loving forever homes
