The evening kicks off with a welcome cocktail or mocktail, followed by live music from Hickory Vaught, a DJ spinning crowd favorites, and photo ops to capture the memories. It’s more than just a tasting event — it’s a celebration of community, creativity, and compassion.
Giving Back with Every Bite
This year’s event proudly benefits Feed Louisville, a local nonprofit that rescues surplus food and transforms it into chef-prepared meals for unhoused and food-insecure neighbors. “Feed Louisville is where food rescue meets hunger relief,” said a spokesperson. “Every ticket helps us serve more meals and support more lives.”
Presented by Gordon Food Service
