About this experience partner:
Founded in 1783 by John Suter, The Fountain Inn (a.k.a. perhaps THE most important tavern in American history) was the first stop for stagecoaches in Georgetown and therefore a destination for common folk and presidents alike. While there is some mystery surrounding the precise location of the tavern itself, we do know that several notable events took place at The Fountain Inn (like the designing of the District of Columbia, and the presidential debate between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson in 1800).
Additional information:
Our events manager and our bar manager are pretty cool and will definitely help you create a sick event.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if we have someone who is not drinking?
That is ok! We can create a fun mocktail pairing for them to enjoy
Does everyone have to do the same tasting?
Ideally, yes. If your group has a variety of preferences, we’d be happy to arrange a standard reservation so everyone can order from our full menu and enjoy the evening at their own pace.
How many people can you accommodate?
Private tastings are available for groups 10-16
Can you accommodate my allergy or dietary restriction?
We can accommodate most allergies and dietary restrictions with advance notice. As long as we know ahead of time, we can prepare something yummy!
Do you have parking available?
Unfortunately, Georgetown street parking is extremely limited. Plus, if you plan to imbibe we recommend you ride-share anyways.
