Mocktail Seminar with Tilden

Come join us at&nbsp;Oak n'Barrel&nbsp;for a fun and informative event all about crafting delicious Tilden non-alcoholic cocktails with&nbsp;Co-Founder Mariah Hilton Wood! In 2020, Co-Founder Vanessa decided to give up alcohol but found herself frustrated by the lack of sophisticated non-alcoholic drink options at social gatherings. She envisioned a beverage that was flavorful, low in sugar, and free from mind-altering ingredients. At Harvard Business School, she connected with Mariah, a lifelong teetotaler with a deep love for food, beverages, and the art of hosting. Together, they embarked on a journey to create non-alcoholic social drinks that would redefine how we celebrate. After countless hours of testing and refining recipes in Mariah's kitchen, they perfected a line of beverages that offer a full sensory experience—crafted to be savored with every sip. Mariah and Vanessa are driven by a shared passion for fostering more meaningful, authentic social moments. Featured Products:<ul><li>Tilden Tandem</li><li>Tilden Lacewing</li></ul>Whether you're sober curious, the designated driver, or just looking to mix things up, this seminar is for you. Learn how to make refreshing and flavorful drinks without the booze. Located at&nbsp;1255 Centre Street&nbsp;in Newton Centre, MA, this in-person event is a great opportunity to expand your drink-making skills and enjoy some tasty sips.
