Enjoy a Horse Soldier Bourbon tasting during a unique dinner experience under our gorgeous tent, while our host, Alex Hernandez, shares his captivating life story. The event does not stop here–please find a warm spot around the fire on our gorgeous property with a timeless landscape to enjoy the rest of the evening filled with drinks and great company and music. Feel free to bring a cigar to smoke around the campfire. The wine bar will be open until 11pm with a special bourbon based cocktail menu, wine, & sangria for additional purchase.

Horse Soldier Guest of Honor Alex Hernandez served 26 years in the U.S. Army Special Forces as a Green Beret and retired as Sergeant Major. He then served 14 years in the Central Intelligence Agency as a Senior Intelligence Officer. In the Fall of 2001, Alex was assigned to work alongside the ODA 595 Special Forces team that was the first to land in Afghanistan in response to the attacks on our country on 9/11. Their story earned them the moniker, “The Horse Soldiers”, and has been brought to life in award-winning Action Dramas (“12 Strong”), books and documentaries. Today Alex is a Brand Ambassador for the international award-winning ultra-premium Horse Soldier Bourbon brand. His favorite way to drink Horse Soldier Bourbon is neat or on the rocks.

Additional bottles will be available for purchase at the venue following the tasting event. Each bottle of Horse Soldier is formed in molds of World Trade Center steel to honor the spirit of resilience and service that arose after the attack on our nation.

10% of all profits will go to VetsRoll, an organization that raises money to allow veterans the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C. to visit their memorials.
