Gatsby-Q | Summer’s Roaring Grand Finale is Set to Stimulate Your Senses at Normandy Farm
Experience this…
The roaring 20’s were known as the greatest, gaudiest spree in history as Americans lived under the influence of Prohibition. Party until the sun goes down at our outdoor speakeasy, complete with local distilleries sampling their artisan spirits. Go back in time with the sounds of The Recessionals Jazz Band. Guys, feel free to dress the part with a newsboy cap and two toned shoes. Gals, get dolled up in your flapper dress and boas. It’s time for summer’s grand finale.

Liquor 101: A Quick Guide to Distilled Spirits
It's never too late to learn about the "forbidden beverages" in the Roaring 20's. You won't need a prescription for these whiskey tastings. Our passionate distillers from Stateside, Dad's Hat, Hay Maker, and Blue Coat share the history and taste profiles of Brandy, Gin, Rum, Tequila, Vodka, and Whiskey. Each of these distilled spirits are unique and have distinct styles within themselves. Mingle with the makers in cocktail party fashion - as this is the time in which the social practice of having a cocktail, or two, or three before dinner became widespread.
Picture this…
The most majestically perfect summer evening, temperature 80 degrees with zero humidly. The lush green manicured lawn of Normandy Farm’s Grand Garden, lined with picnic tables for guests to roll up their sleeves and let down their hair for a magical night of food, spirits, beer, wine and music.
Smell this…
We have a built in taste-smell connection, so your nose knows when the coals are hot and the ribs, chicken and sausage are sizzlin’ on the grill. Sip while you saunter to all of the grill stations, reminiscent of summertime barbecues when you were a kid. Remember, your nose does not lie when it picks up the scent of deliciousness.
