Kentucky Bluegrass Wine Auction & Derby Gala

Kentucky is a magical place to be in the days leading up to “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports,” the Kentucky Derby. LCF will host its annual Kentucky Bluegrass Wine Auction & Derby Gala, the nation’s only charity wine event integrating fine wines and equestrian culture, May 2, 2024. Over the years, the event has become one of the cultural and social highlights of Derby week. The Auction, typically attended by more than 550 guests, has been held at Donamire Farm, one of the oldest Thoroughbred horse farms in Lexington. Attendees include world renowned vintners, affluent Kentucky residents and national guests. Since, 2021 we have held a smaller major patron event post COVID and are evaluating the location annually. This year the foundation will be celebrating its 20th anniversary.
