Bourbon & Biscuits at The Derby Breakfast

On May 2, 2015 Garden & Gun and its readers gathered at Farmington Historic Plantation in Louisville, Kentucky, prior to the Run for the Roses. Guests wore their Derby-best for a stylish cocktail brunch featuring a gourmet biscuit bar, live music, and a silent auction benefiting the Historic Homes Foundation.
