Spirits of the Past: A Distillery Tasting & Cocktail Experience
Tuesday, June 30 / 4:45-7:00 p.m. & 5:45-8 p.m. / $65 per person

Just beyond the Omni, Acre Distilling Co. invites you on a spirited trip through time, where Texas history, craftsmanship, and a well-poured drink all share the same story.

This intimate group experience blends storytelling, tasting, and hands-on cocktail craft into an evening that’s equal parts enlightening and entertaining.

Please note, there are two separate tour time slots to choose from. The first option begins at 4:45 p.m. and runs through 7 p.m.; the second begins at 5:45 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m. From there, each group will split into two smaller groups of 14 for the ideal balance of flow and flavor: one will begin with the cocktail class before moving into the distillery tour and tasting, while the other starts with the tour and tasting, then heads behind the bar for the class.

The guided tasting explores the evolution of distilling—from frontier resourcefulness to modern Texas spirits—with a curated lineup of handcrafted pours and the fascinating science, tradition, and just-right rule-bending behind each glass.

You'll also have your turn behind the bar. In a lively cocktail workshop, you’ll learn to shake, stir, and garnish with confidence, creating drinks worthy of both the moment and your future home repertoire.

Explore the iconic AT&T Stadium, home of the legendary Dallas Cowboys. This world-class stadium tour offers a look at one of the most impressive venues in professional sports, from the grand concourses and luxury suites to the field level where the Cowboys take the spotlight on game day. And as a special bonus just for July 2026, the tour will include glimpses behind the scenes of the FIFA World Cup!

Then the group will visit Globe Life Field, the state-of-the-art home of the Texas Rangers. With its modern design and retractable roof, this ballpark showcases the evolution of America’s pastime and provides an inside look at the home of the 2023 World Series Champions.

What’s included:

Round trip transportation to Arlington, Texas, and tour admission to both AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field.

JFK: The Sixth Floor Museum Private Tour
Wednesday, July 1 / 7:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. / $105 per person

Step into history before the doors even open with this exclusive, behind-the-scenes experience at the The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza.

Your morning begins with comfortable charter bus transportation departing directly from the hotel lobby, making for a seamless and stress-free start. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed into the museum before it opens to the public, offering a rare opportunity to experience this powerful space in a quiet, reflective setting.

The highlight of the visit is a private curatorial conversation led by museum staff, designed exclusively for our group. This intimate session offers unique insights and perspectives that go beyond the standard narrative — and will differ from the speaker presentation featured on the AG schedule, ensuring a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

Following the discussion, guests will have unhurried time to explore the museum and its special exhibit at their own pace, free from crowds. Walk through the compelling timeline of events, examine historic artifacts, and take in the significance of Dealey Plaza in a deeply personal way.

This thoughtfully curated tour blends comfort, exclusivity, and meaningful storytelling — an unforgettable way to connect with one of the most pivotal moments in American history.

Fort Worth Stockyards
Thursday, July 2 / 10:00 a.m. / $20 per person

Step into the spirit of the Old West with an immersive morning at the Fort Worth Stockyards — where history still moves at the pace of a cattle drive.

Your day begins with a 10:00 a.m. private walking tour, reserved exclusively for our group. Led by an expert guide, you’ll explore the rich heritage of this iconic district — once the last stop on the Chisholm Trail — while hearing stories of cowboys, cattle barons, and the birth of Texas livestock culture.

The tour concludes just in time for one of the Stockyards’ most beloved traditions: the 11:30 a.m. daily cattle drive, where real Texas longhorns parade down Exchange Avenue in a living tribute to the past. It’s a can’t-miss moment and a true step back in time.

From boots on the boardwalk to longhorns in motion, this Stockyards experience offers a vivid and memorable glimpse into Texas history — equal parts storytelling, spectacle, and authentic Western charm.
