During the event, TrooRa Magazine & Media will formally announce its 2026 partnership with Chopin Vodka. Chopin is a luxury vodka brand from the last Polish vodkamaking family in Poland. The brand, which is still family-run, debuted in 1993 and catalyzed the luxury vodka phenomenon. Chopin founder and CEO, Tad Dorda, takes a unique farm-tobottle approach, working with farmers within a 15-mile radius of their distillery in Poland to grow potatoes, wheat, and rye. Chopin’s mission is the same as when the brand launched almost 30 years ago: to shift the conversation around vodka from being a tasteless, colorless, odorless mixer synonymous with nightlife to an original Polish spirit that’s meant to be savored, appreciated, collected, and discussed. The brand’s vodka lineup currently includes Chopin Potato, Chopin Wheat, Chopin Rye, Chopin Family Reserve, Chopin Rye Organic, Chopin Bartender’s Choice, and Chopin Vintage Vault. The partnership establishes Chopin Vodka as the official spirits partner of TrooRa Magazine & Media across events, media activations, and live experiences throughout 2026.

Chopin Vodka was recently named one of the Best Vodkas of 2026 in Newsweek’s Readers’ Choice Awards. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to craftsmanship, cultural storytelling, and intentional, community-driven experiences.
