Ivy City Crawl
Saturday, August 12, 2023
Over the past few years, Washington’s Ivy City neighborhood has reinvented itself as an eclectic food and spirits hot-spot. Join the Bailliage of Greater Washington as we taste and sip our way through Ivy City.
We’ll begin our exploration at 12:30pm at District Made by One Eight Distilling. We will tour the facility, enjoy a tasting, and even learn what One-Eight means! District Made was founded by four passionate liquor lovers. Located on Okie Street NE, it produces varieties of spirits for notable bars and restaurants and the general public. Favorites include District Made Vodka, Rock Creek White Whiskey, and Ivy City Gin.
At 2:00 pm, we will walk to nearby Don Ciccio & Figli for a tasting and nibbles. Don Ciccio & Figli are generational crafters of a range of Italian herbal liqueurs, from the bitter to the sweet. It is the largest producer on the East Coast of amari and after-dinner liquors such as limoncello.
At 3:30pm we will walk the short distance to the Ivy City Smokehouse – a recipient of Michelin’s Bib Gourmand award – where you will have the opportunity to enjoy a late lunch.
