If you’ve been thinking that a bourbon-centric, luxury ranch-style stay where you (as a whiskey fan of legal drinking age) can immerse yourself in wonderment and adventure is what’s been missing from your life, then Longbranch has a treat for you.
Yes, the Bourbon brought to you by the actor Matthew McConaughey and the makers of Wild Turkey has teamed up with Walden Retreats (on the outskirts of Austin, Texas) to create a bold and truly unique whiskey experience.
Longbranch Bourbon has challenged tradition since its inception in 2018 by combining the unexpected – Kentucky straight bourbon and Texas mesquite – to create a bold and truly unique whiskey. The luxury ranch is a physical manifestation of Longbranch’s current Wonder What If campaign, which, just like the idea that led to the spirit’s creation, dares fans to discover what happens when they move beyond curiosity and into action. The ranch does this through a series of unexpected activities designed to ignite a sense of exploration and spark curiosity, including:
- Creative Mixology Cocktail Hour – A private cocktail session with Longbranch speciality cocktails and curated food pairings
- Walk in the Wilds – Audio-guided hike through the beautiful landscape of Texas Hill Country adjacent to the Longbranch Ranch at Walden Retreats
- Illuminating Texas Night Sky Fly-Fishing – One-on-one guided glow-in-the-dark fly-fishing experience on the Pedernales River
- Unexpected Sounds – Private string performance by classically trained musicians playing unexpected music ranging from pop to rock, all from the comfort of a private tent
Beginning today, guests 21 and older can book a Longbranch Ranch package by visiting the “book now” page at www.waldenretreats.com for stays beginning March 1, 2023.
For each Longbranch Ranch package booked, the brand will donate the equivalent cost of the stay to The Trail Conservancy, a local nonprofit dedicated to protecting Austin’s beloved Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail.
“Longbranch Bourbon brings people together and sparks connection in unexpected ways, so let your imagination be your compass and indulge in finding the beauty in it all,” said McConaughey.
Walden Retreats Founder and CEO Blake Smith added, “Providing our guests with an authentic outdoor experience that offers an inspiring welcome to nature is an essential part of our story. We’re thrilled to collaborate with Longbranch to offer a unique stay that encourages people to unplug their phones, toast the night sky and enjoy life at a slower pace.”
