Bourbon under the Rocks | 7-9pm | Louisville Mega Caverns
Kentucky’s limestone shelf produces the sweetest water supply in the world – this precious water is what makes our Thoroughbreds fast and our Bourbon delicious. Descend below Louisville’s city lights into the 100 acre man-made limestone cavern for a night of delectable adventure. Guests are invited to test their strength and agility on the only completely underground areal ropes course and zip line in the world. Sample daring Bourbon cocktails and extreme Kentucky cuisine. “Rock out” to Louisville’s original Bourbon Jazz Band, Billy Goat Strut Revue. We guarantee you have never experienced a cocktail party like this before. Leave your little black dress at home. For the full experience you will want to dress casual and wear closed-toed shoes. When was the last time you had to sign a waiver to attend a cocktail party?
CasaBourblanca | 7-9pm | Bowman Air Field
Just picture it – the scene, laid-back all white tropical elegant lifestyle. Enjoy a refreshing white dog Mojito under the cool evening night. Savor the flavor of a freshly cut cigar while listening to a live pianist play “As Time Goes By”. Indulge your desires with some of the most premium sough after Bourbons inside the hangar. Taste farm fresh Kentucky delicacies prepared by talented chefs from Louisville – named a top foodie city. While we are pouring the Bourbon and Mojitos, the party will heat up with dancing and live music.
Polo on the Waterfront | 11am – 3pm | Waterfront Park, Louisville
The morning’s festivities will kick off with a premium VIP Kentucky Proud brunch overlooking the Ohio River. A five-course meal will be served on a beautiful salvaged barn-wood table adorned with gorgeous wildflowers. And of course we will have plenty of Bourbon to sample thanks to Heaven Hill Distilleries, Jim Beam, Michter’s and Town Branch. Following brunch, four polo teams will compete to be the Kentucky Bourbon Affair polo champion. In addition to the polo match, general admission guests will enjoy a festival-like atmosphere with multiple activations including an onsite Kentucky Proud farmers market where guests can purchase products directly. And don’t forget the match-side tailgating spots which are perfect for a group of friends to have some of the best seats available.
Please remember to always enjoy Kentucky Bourbon responsibly!
