If your idea of team building involves forced icebreakers and awkward activities, TalkTales Entertainment is here to shake things up—literally. This women-owned company brings interactive mixology experiences directly to teams, turning cocktail-making into a high-energy, hands-on event that blends creativity, collaboration, and a whole lot of fun.
Whether it’s an in-person happy hour, a competitive cocktail challenge, or a virtual cocktail class with delivered kits, TalkTales turns any gathering into a buzzworthy experience. With events led by expert “MixMasters” and a company ethos rooted in inclusivity and community, they’ve become a go-to partner for corporate teams, private parties, and anyone looking to sip, stir, and celebrate together.
TalkTales was founded during the early days of the pandemic, with a mission to reconnect people through shared experiences—even from afar. What began as a virtual mixology company has evolved into a nationwide experience provider with in-person and remote offerings designed to fit any event, location, or guest list.
At the heart of every TalkTales experience is a simple belief: learning something new together creates stronger connections. Their events strike the perfect balance between education, entertainment, and flavor-forward creativity.
From custom cocktails to spirited competitions, TalkTales offers a range of experiences for every vibe and group size:
TalkTales’ flagship service brings cocktail education to life with an on-site mixology class led by charismatic pros. Your team will learn the techniques and history behind three craft cocktails—all while getting hands-on with real tools and ingredients. No experience needed—just a willingness to shake, taste, and laugh together.
Equal parts Iron Chef and Top Bartender, this team-based cocktail competition is all about collaboration and creativity. Teams go head-to-head using secret ingredients, crafting signature drinks, and impressing the judges in a fun, fast-paced showdown. Perfect for fostering team dynamics and friendly rivalry.
Want to elevate your event with professional bartenders and signature cocktails? TalkTales’ mixologists bring exceptional service and a personalized drink menu to private parties, corporate events, and celebrations. From custom drinks to full bar management, they’ve got you covered—so you can focus on hosting.
Originally launched during lockdown, TalkTales’ virtual cocktail classes are still a hit for remote teams and nationwide offices. Each participant receives a kit with everything needed to make three signature cocktails, then joins a live-streamed session with an expert MixMaster for instruction, storytelling, and sipping.
TalkTales isn’t just about great drinks—they’re committed to building stronger communities. As a women-owned company, they prioritize inclusive hiring, fair practices, and local impact.
Their partnership with PVJOBS and LA Plaza Village supports a local hire initiative, aiming for 30% of hires to come from within a two-mile radius of their HQ—with 10% reserved for workers facing disadvantages. They believe every cocktail can build more than just camaraderie—it can help build opportunity.
They also make it a point to reflect the diverse communities they serve, with a team of instructors and mixologists that represent a range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
