A Private Weekend at Haldenmere — By Invitation Only

Beyond a tree-lined drive, tucked into the quiet hills of the Ozarks in Northwest Arkansas, Haldenmere opens its gates for a rare and private gathering.

On Saturday and Sunday, June 28th & 29th 2025, a select few will be welcomed to step into a world where craftsmanship, heritage, and the romance of driving come alive — surrounded by the rustic beauty and French country charm of Haldenmere Estate.

For two days only, we will host an intimate experience where Helderburg Defenders are not displayed under showroom lights, but set against open fields, winding wooded trails, and the soft hush of summer air.

You’ll walk among the latest Helderburg builds, feel the richness of the leathers, run your hand along custom-milled finishes, and hear the mechanical pulse that defines a Helderburg.

It is not simply about seeing — it is about feeling.
And knowing — deep within — when you find the one that speaks to you.

During your visit, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Privately walk among a curated selection of Helderburg Defenders
• Drive along scenic country roads and gentle off-road trails
• Spend personal time with Paul Potratz, founder of Helderburg, to discuss design, inspiration, and commissioning your own Helderburg
• Partake in sporting clays on the estate grounds, if you wish
• Savor fine wines and French-inspired country fare in the gardens and courtyards of Haldenmere
• Relax by the fire under a canopy of stars, should you choose to linger into the evening

Haldenmere located in Northwest Arkansas is approximately a 5.5-hour drive from Dallas — a journey meant to be savored, not rushed.

Attendance is by private invitation request only.
To maintain the personal nature of the experience, all guests must request an invitation and receive confirmation.
