Small Batch Suppers

Guests experienced Bardstown like a local as G&G, together with Visit Bardstown, hosted four simultaneous, intimate dinners in four private, historic homes. Each supper featured a noted Kentucky chef partnered with a select Bardstown distillery, who presented a unique, coursed dinner menu accompanied by bourbon cocktails and tastings. After dinner, the groups gathered for an afterparty at Bardstown Bourbon Company for dessert, live music, and more bourbon.
