The Bourbon & Cigar Pairing Experience is an educational, hands-on workshop where participants learn the craft of tobacco blending and taste local spirits. Guests will study how different wrapper, binder, and filler leaves affect flavor profiles before heading out to the covered porch to sample three of the distillery's signature pours with a premium smoke. This ticketed event is strictly for adults aged 21 and older, making it a great excuse to line up childcare for a few hours. Mystic Farm & Distillery offers plenty of free on-site parking, but because alcohol is served, we recommend arranging a rideshare. Wear comfortable shoes for the distillery tour portion of the afternoon, and bring a light jacket if the autumn breeze on the porch gets cool. It is a smart weekend pick because it offers a structured, relaxing break from the usual kid-centric routine. You get to learn a new skill from industry experts and enjoy a quiet afternoon on a beautiful working farm just minutes from downtown Durham.
