6th Annual Keeneland Cocktail Brunch

Garden & Gun’s cocktail brunch is held at the historic Keene Place on the Keeneland grounds.

Woodford Reserve’s Flavor Wheel tasting experience features five food pairings (Parmesan cheese, hazelnut, dried cranberry, orange, dark chocolate, and sorghum syrup) to excite the palate and accentuate certain characteristics of Woodford Reserve’s Distiller’s Select bourbon.

Phillip and Janice Dowdy enter the raffle for a chance to watch Saturday’s races from a corporate suite provided by G&G and Keeneland.

The Keeneland Retail Shop at Keene Place showcases premium race-day provisions.

Guests gather outside of Keene Place before heading to the Keeneland Clubhouse to view the day’s races.
