ONE LOCAL EXPERT. EVERY RESERVATION VERIFIED

Kentucky Experiences Chosen by Those Who Live Here

Angelique Rison

"Concierge service, done right. Every experience here is hand-selected by someone who lives here."

Angelique, Concierge Director

We know…

  • Local drivers who know how to slip in and out of traffic, so you're there in 15 minutes or less.
  • Where to grab the best pizza once you slip out of the track.
  • The afterparties the locals actually go to, and the best ones you'll never find on Google.
  • Exactly what to tuck in your bag for Derby day so nothing catches you off guard.
  • The seats truly worth having, plus my three favorite sections at the track.
  • How to pull your whole look together. Always pick the hat first, then build the outfit around it.
