Bourbon Experience

Bourbon-Infused Menus & Tasting Events

To celebrate 40 years of hospitality, Hilton Wilmington/Christiana partnered with Maker’s Mark to craft a one-of-one Maker’s Mark Private Selection barrel—just 200 bottles—featuring five unique flavor profiles. Enjoy it at Market Kitchen & Bar, on The Patio, and during our Chef’s Table Bourbon Dinner, plus bourbon-inspired catering for weddings and events.
