We’re Getting Hitched!
It’s about time…
We’re making it official and celebrating the only way we know how — with a proper Kentucky weekend. Where bourbon ages slow and horses run fast, we figured there was no need to rush. Pack your boots for a fancy western “I do,” your denim for bourbon country, and your boldest race-day flair for Keeneland.
Rings. Races. Love. Bourbon.
When
Thursday, October 14th
Time: 4:45pm—9pm
Meet in the cocktail lounge of the Manchester Hotel for a bevy to go, then hop on one of the shuttles. Shuttles have a hard take off time at 3:45pm.

Keeneland Here Come The Bridges
10.15 1:00-6:00PM
Polish up those race-day looks — we’re headed to the iconic Keeneland for tailgating, trackside cheers, and a little friendly betting.

Bridge Bourbon Trail
10.16 11:00-4:00PM
We’re heading straight to bourbon country for an afternoon along the legendary Kentucky Bourbon Trail — rolling hills, smooth pours, behind-the-scenes tours, and stories as rich as the barrels themselves.

Things to do in Lexington
Explore- Kentucky Horse Park
Celebrating our relationship with the horse since 1978, the Kentucky Horse Park welcomes over one million visitors each year. Owned and operated by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the Park is a treasure to our state and a facility unlike any other in the world.
Catch a Game- UK Wildcats
While you’re in town, soak up a little Big Blue pride. Lexington lives and breathes University of Kentucky athletics — and if you really want to feel it, step inside University of Kentucky Athletics territory and wander through Rupp Arena.
It’s loud, it’s legendary, and on game days it’s pure electricity. Even when the Wildcats aren’t tipping off, you can feel the history in the rafters.
Distillery District
Fortunately, in 2008 local entrepreneurs teamed up to bring this area back to its former glory and they did not disappoint. Since then, this revitalized piece of Lexington history has become a lively downtown destination.
Today, you’ll find two working bourbon distilleries on the historic site. Plus, the easily walkable area combined with its diverse food and drink offerings makes the Distillery District one of Lexington’s most exciting hotspots.
