Something’s coming to Tampa—and it’s not just the heat. It’s the kind of gathering where the air buzzes with anticipation, where old friends and strangers alike line up for a taste of something rare. On Tuesday, May 6, country legend Dierks Bentley will roll into Luekens Wine & Spirits, not with a band this time—but with bottles.
For just two hours, between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., the man behind “Drunk on a Plane” and “Burning Man” will meet fans, pose for pictures, and sign bottles of his Row 94 whiskey—a spirit forged with as much soul as his lyrics.
More Than Just a Bottle
Row 94 isn’t just whiskey. It’s a 94-proof story, a rich pour of Nashville legacy, born from Dierks Bentley’s own journey down Music Row in 1994. The spirit is steeped in flavor and ambition—“heavy notes of vanilla and toffee” warming the senses before that subtle green apple finish sneaks in like a ghost at midnight.
Bentley didn’t slap his name on just any bottle. He insisted Row 94 remain under $40, keeping it accessible to fans who have stood by him through eight No. 1 albums, 22 chart-topping singles, and a staggering 9 billion global streams.
One Night. 200 Spots. No Rehearsals.
Only 200 lucky fans will get the full experience—an autographed bottle and a personal moment with Bentley himself. The stakes? Simple. First come, first served. Tickets are available now for $45 at luekensliquors.com, but once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Ticket holders walk away with a signed bottle of Row 94 Kentucky Straight Bourbon and a photo with Bentley. But even those without a ticket—if you’re 21 or older—can still grab a signed bottle while supplies last.
Why Tampa?
You may wonder why a star of Bentley’s caliber is headed to a liquor store in Tampa, of all places. It’s no accident. Tampa’s rising profile as a hub for country music and culture makes it the perfect backdrop for this intimate whiskey affair. Luekens Wine & Spirits, located at 236 N. Dale Mabry, is ground zero for what promises to be a night of stories poured neat, selfies snapped quick, and music legends made human.
If Stephen King ever wrote about country music, this would be his scene—warm Southern night, the clink of glasses, fans pressing forward in a slow burn of excitement, and a star waiting at the end of the line with a smile and a Sharpie.
Don’t Just Drink the Legend. Meet Him.
This isn’t a concert. It’s not a press event. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime whiskey meet-and-greet that fans will talk about long after the bottles are empty. Bentley has built his career on connection—through his songs, through his stories, and now through this bottle of bourbon.
And who knows what he might say when you step forward, bottle in hand? Legends often save their best tales for the smallest stages.
The Final Pour
So if you’re in Tampa—or within driving distance—circle May 6 in permanent marker. The man, the music, and the whiskey will all be there. Just don’t wait too long. Tickets are selling fast, and legends don’t linger.
When the night ends and the bottle’s empty, will you be one of the few who got to taste the story and meet the man behind the label?
