Christian Bryant, VP & publisher of G&G
From small batch suppers and a celebration of Women in Whiskey, to an “owner for a day” experience at the prestigious Keeneland Spring Race Meet, each event is unique to its location and showcases the one-of-a-kind aspects of Kentucky with the most exclusive and elevated details that can’t be replicated.
Kentucky is long past being a hidden gem of the south, it’s a must-visit, bucket-list destination. Like Napa Valley is to wine, Kentucky’s Bourbon Country is the homeplace and epicenter of America’s native spirit. We’re grateful for the community collaboration, and of course to Garden & Gun for their thoughtful direction in planning such immersive event experiences for our visitors.
