Fire meets fire.
The char of the bourbon barrel. The glow of the Hot Shop. And molten glass transformed into a one-of-a-kind whiskey glass—individually designed and created by each guest alongside a talented glass artisan, making every piece as distinctive as the experience itself.
Created by My Bourbonista in collaboration with Ignite Glass Studios, Bourbon & Blaze brings two crafts shaped by fire together inside one of Chicago’s most distinctive working glass studios.
Think polished concrete and glowing glass. Sophisticated tablescapes dressed in warm tones and brass accents. A beautifully curated hosted bar paired with passed hors d’oeuvres, abundant small plates or an elegant seated dinner—all unfolding within the energy of a working Hot Shop.
Beyond the glass studio, wander into the Urban Garden, where artisan glasswork adorns the landscape, or head to the rooftop and take in the stunning Chicago cityscape from above.
Our recent corporate Bourbon & Blaze was unanimously delightful—a little sophisticated, a little unexpected and completely memorable.
Corporate gatherings. Milestone birthdays. Groom’s events. Bridal celebrations. Or bring everyone together.
You name the vision. We make it happen.
Bourbon & Blaze. It’s on your agenda.
