Welcome to the epitome of Southern charm and equestrian excitement – the Kentucky Derby Party!
When we think of the Derby we immediately conjure images of ladies adorned in extravagant hats and gentlemen in dapper suits as they mingle with anticipation, eagerly awaiting the “Run for the Roses.” Bring that air of anticipation and the spirit of competition home with you by hosting your own Kentucky Derby watch party. The Kentucky Derby Party is a time-honored tradition, where the thrill of the race, the glamour of the fashion, and the taste of bourbon converge in a spectacular display of Southern hospitality and revelry.
For those of ya’ll who’ll be at home, we’ve crafted a menu you and your guests will love!
