Saddle Up & Head To Longbranch Bourbon’s New Experience

Longbranch® Bourbon and Creative Director Matthew Mcconaughey Introduce the Longbranch Ranch at Walden Retreats: an Inspiring, Bookable Bourbon-themed Experience in the Heart of Texas

You can now book a stay at a premium ranch in McConaughey’s home state to live the Longbranch lifestyle and luxuriate in the unexpected

LAWRENCEBURG, KY (Nov. 1, 2022) — Longbranch®, the award-winning bourbon with a Kentucky soul and Texas heart co-created by Matthew McConaughey and the makers of Wild Turkey, has teamed up with Walden Retreats to bring to life a bourbon-centric, luxury ranch-style stay where whiskey fans of legal drinking age can immerse themselves in wonderment and adventure.

Located in the bucolic Texas Hill Country on the outskirts of Austin, Texas, The Longbranch Ranch at Walden Retreats is inspired by the imaginative spirit of Longbranch’s Creative Director Matthew McConaughey, his home state and the influence it has on the award-winning bourbon. 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 specialty 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
