Back for a Sixth Season of Spirits & Stories
The Federal’s Spirit Dinner Series returns for 2026–2027 with ten unforgettable evenings celebrating exceptional spirits, seasonal cuisine and coastal hospitality.
Each Spirit Dinner features a four-course seasonal menu by James Beard–nominated Chef Todd Gray, paired with custom cocktails and curated pours from Equinox Bar Manager Kevin Macario. Throughout the season, distillers, brand ambassadors and industry experts join us to share the stories, craftsmanship and people behind each bottle.
This season takes us around the world and across the spirits landscape—from tequila and Japanese whisky to bourbon, American whiskey, Italian gin and coastal rum—with an entirely different experience waiting at the table each month.
