- The New Orleans Culinary and Cultural Preservation Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds to benefit hospitality industry members, produces Tales of the Cocktail annually. Its mission is to preserve the rich history of the restaurants and bars of New Orleans and the unique culture of dining and drinking famous to the city, while educating locals, visitors, and the hospitality industry about this culinary heritage.
- Funds raised from the 2007 Tales of the Cocktail are already at work benefiting the hospitality industry through a partnership with Save Our Cemeteries. Hospitality members are enjoying complimentary “Culinary History Tours” through historic Metairie Cemetery, the resting place of Ruth Fertel, founder of Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse; Arnaud Casenave, founder of Arnaud’s Restaurant; Antoine Alciatore, founder of Antoine’s Restaurant; and Owen Brennan, founder of Brennan’s Restaurant, some of the country’s most famous and influential restaurants.
- Tales of the Cocktail, a culinary and cocktail festival, allows the connoisseur or amateur to fully experience (taste, see and learn about) cocktail culture in New Orleans and around the world. The event’s annual components are Spirited Dinners, a Seminar Series, Cocktail Hour, Cocktail Luncheons, walking tours of the French Quarter, and classic and contemporary cocktail parties -- all presented by the country’s hottest chefs, authors, bartenders and cocktail experts. Tales of the Cocktail will re-convene July 16-20, 2008, for its sixth annual festival.
