Flight & Fright Night
2019-10-26 19:00 - 22:00
Ready for some spooky, adults-only, pre-Halloween fun? A. Smith Bowman Distillery is bringing back its popular Flight & Fright Night this year on Saturday, October 26 from 7-10 p.m., which showcases the Distillery in a completely different light.
The evening kicks off with a lantern-lit tour of the Distillery that will feature some haunting ghost tales and staff recollections of all the things that have gone bump in the night in the Barrel Room.
After the tour, the Distillery will offer a movie screening of the 1960 Halloween classic, Psycho. While watching the movie, guests can sit back and enjoy A. Smith Bowman Distillery spirits as a flight or as a deliciously spooky cocktail. Scrumptiously flavored popcorn will also be available during the movie. After the movie, there will also be a costume competition. The winner will be chosen by a people’s choice nomination and will receive a nice gift basket.
Tickets, which must be purchased in advance, are $35 per person or $65 for two and include admission, the lantern-lit tour, snacks, and two cocktails. Additional cocktails are available for purchase. Non-alcohol tickets are $15 per person and include admission, tour, snacks, and non-alcohol beverages. Guests for this event must be 21 years or older and all proceeds benefit the Grapes & Grain Trail.
