The Experience
Horses & Bourbon blends Kentucky’s two most iconic traditions into one polished, concierge style experience. Guests enjoy thoughtfully curated distillery visits paired with time at the racetrack, creating a day that feels elevated, social, and never scripted. The focus is on access and atmosphere, from sipping bourbon to soaking in the energy of the track as the day unfolds naturally and leaves room to enjoy the moment. Along the way, guests are guided through racing culture in a way that feels comfortable and intuitive, learning where to stand, what to say, and when to place the bet, without ever feeling out of place.
At the Track
Guests enjoy an afternoon or evening at the racetrack, experiencing the excitement of the same spaces that come alive during the Kentucky Derby. With guidance on reading race forms, placing bets, and understanding the rhythm of the track, the experience is lively and approachable for both first-time visitors and longtime racing fans. A stop at the Derby Closet lets guests borrow a hat or colorful vest and become the talk of the track!
In Bourbon Country
The experience includes curated distillery visits and guided tastings selected to balance the energy of the track. Guests enjoy bourbon in a relaxed, social setting with time to learn, sip, and connect without feeling rushed
