2026 KENTUCKY DERBY PACKAGES
This luxury Kentucky Derby package is crafted for those who expect more than just the race. You will enjoy three-nights of refined accommodation in downtown Louisville, VIP race tickets, curated bourbon and horse-farm tours, exclusive social events, and on-the-ground support from hosts who know Derby Weekend inside-out.
Your seating options range from premium grandstand seats to upscale spaces like Millionaires Row or Clubhouse Boxes—each with its own character and view of the finish line. Alongside race day, you’ll experience the full flavor of Derby week: the Kentucky Oaks, fashion and festivities, behind-scenes farm life, and local culture. Optional add-ons allow you to customize your experience: gourmet dinners, private transport, guided tours of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, or even the famous Barnstable Brown Gala.
