Food & Beverage

  • BBQ: Chef de Cuisine Jose Valdez will offer a luxurious Father’s Day Brunch in and around the tented Pavilion featuring his globally artistic, locally-sourced modern farm cuisine, with featured “manly” BBQ items like bourbon-infused beef brisket and whole roasted pigs from a local farm cooked on a spit, with a wide variety of other chef-crafted BBQ specialties, sides and fixings.
  • Bourbon and cigar-rolling education: Bourbon experts from Southern Wine & Spirits will be on hand to educate dads on the nuances of different bourbon whiskeys. Seminars will take place outside on the patio throughout the day, with tastings and specialty cocktails included. As an accompaniment to the bourbon, a cigar roller will also set up shop, offering tips on how to make the perfect hand-rolled stogie.
