Breeders' Cup Experiences - Champion's Eve at Buffalo Trace

Begin Breeders’ Cup weekend with an unforgettable evening at Buffalo Trace Distillery—one of Kentucky’s most iconic and historic distilleries—opened exclusively for a limited, after-hours experience.

As the sun sets, step inside for a private, guided tour and tasting, where you’ll explore the craftsmanship and heritage behind some of the world’s most celebrated bourbons. With fewer guests and a more intimate setting, this rare access offers a deeper, more immersive look into the magic of Buffalo Trace.

Following the tour, settle in for a beautifully curated four-course Kentucky-inspired dinner, thoughtfully prepared to highlight regional flavors and seasonal ingredients. The evening continues with the lively sounds of a live bluegrass band, creating an authentic and unforgettable atmosphere under the Kentucky night sky.

Your experience includes two handcrafted cocktails—featuring a signature welcome cocktail to begin the evening—before transitioning into a relaxed cash bar for continued enjoyment.

This is more than an event—it’s a celebration of Kentucky’s finest traditions, perfectly timed for the excitement of Breeders’ Cup week.
