3rd Annual Vérité Wine Derby Kickoff Dinner
Join us as we kick off the 152nd running of the Kentucky Derby with an extraordinary wine-and-bourbon dinner that embodies Kentucky's spirit of excellence. Guests will enjoy an elegant three-course seated dining experience crafted by Executive Chef Thomas Hiestand, with each course thoughtfully paired with the acclaimed Vérité Wines — America's most 100-point rated winery. Throughout the evening, the experience will be elevated with pours of Stonestreet Bourbon, a refined Kentucky straight bourbon handcrafted in small batches and aged for a minimum of 5 years to achieve its distinctive smooth, elegant profile. Inspired by the legacy of Stonestreet Farms — home to legendary Thoroughbreds such as Curlin and Rachel Alexandra — this remarkable bourbon reflects the same relentless pursuit of excellence that defines championship racing and the Kentucky Derby itself. With a high-wheat mash bill and notes of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and warm baking spices, Stonestreet delivers a rich yet silky finish perfectly suited for a celebratory Derby evening. Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed into an elegant cocktail hour, where premium spirits, a beautifully curated cocktail bar, and live entertainment set the tone for the evening ahead. Secure your place at this exclusive Derby kickoff dinner, where every detail has been meticulously designed to deliver a truly unforgettable experience. Limited tickets are available for this celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and the enduring spirit of the Kentucky Derby.
