- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 14 Nov, 2025 at 06:00 pm – Fri, 14 Nov, 2025 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for an extraordinary evening with two of the original Horse Soldiers, Mark Nutsch and Vince Makela, during an intimate five-course private dinner and bourbon pairing. Limited to just 12 guests, this exclusive event offers a rare opportunity to share stories, savor incredible flavors, and raise a glass with true American heroes.

Mark and Vince were part of the first U.S. Special Forces team deployed to Afghanistan after 9/11—riding horseback through rugged terrain to lead a pivotal mission that helped topple the Taliban. Their story inspired the film 12 Strong and laid the foundation for Horse Soldier Bourbon, a veteran-owned brand built on courage, brotherhood, and legacy.

Each expertly crafted course will be paired with premium bourbon expressions from Horse Soldier, including rare selections like the Commander’s Select VI and Big Cedar Lodge Private Select.
Each ticket also includes a bottle of Horse Soldier Big Cedar Lodge Private Select to take home.
