The Perfect Adventure Pairing
You start your morning descending into the mysterious underground world of Bluff Dwellers Cave, then finish with a behind-the-scenes look at how local spirits come to life at Tall Pines Distillery.
The cave portion isn’t your typical tourist trap experience. You’ll navigate a 0.3-mile journey through stunning geological formations that have been millions of years in the making. There’s a steep staircase to start, so this adventure is best suited for folks who don’t mind a little workout with their wonder. Once you’re down there, the mostly flat trail makes for easy exploring while your guide shares the secrets hidden in the limestone.
From Depths to Distillery
After an hour underground, you’ll trade stalactites for stills at Tall Pines Distillery. Watch the distillation process unfold, learn about the craft behind those carefully aged spirits, and enjoy tastings that showcase what Arkansas artisans can do with grain and time.
While the 21+ crowd samples the liquid handiwork, non-alcoholic options keep the designated drivers and younger adventurers happy during the social hour.
