Men, Whiskey & Watches makes its Venice debut this month at the Venetian Golf & River Club. With plenty of whiskeys to taste, area restaurants competing in a cook-with-whiskey challenge and cigars galore, it's obvious that this event is tailor-made for men, but luckily for the ladies, it is open to everyone and boasts a specialty ladies' lounge. Proceeds benefit the Child Protection Center, which serves hundreds of families in south Sarasota County.

Check it out at 4 p.m. Friday, May 20, at 105 Persaro Drive, Venice. Tickets are $75 and can be purchased here.
