Collaborators for the event include Bristols Cider, Cellar Fermentation, Cairjn, Crush Vineyard, The Blending Lab, Robert Hall Winery, The Royal Nonesuch Farm, Tribeca Wine Collective, Ulloa Cellars, Royal Oil, Sunshine Olive Oil, Etto for pasta, and Blush & Twine for event design.

“We are excited to host our second annual Pole Barn celebration,” said Carlisle, co-founder and executive director of Flag Ranch. “Our human herd has been growing in Paso Robles and beyond, and we look forward to gathering them under one big roof for a very special evening.”
The benefit will take place under the pole barn on Flag Ranch’s 50-acre property, where more than 50 horses roam freely. The space will be reimagined as a gathering place for activities such as small group experiences, culinary medicine classes, film screenings, and more, all among the horses. Proceeds from the event benefit Flag Ranch and are partially tax-deductible.
Flag Ranch is a horse and human collaboratory that takes in at-risk horses and offers people immersive experiences in personal and professional development. The 501(c)(3) organization is primarily funded by charitable gifts. For more information, visit flagranch.org.
