Put on your Derby best and join us for a memorable evening of wine, art, and history in the Lee-Fendall garden.
About this Event

Join us for Wine & Art Night at Lee-Fendall, an elegant evening inspired by the excitement and style of the Kentucky Derby. Celebrate spring in the historic Lee-Fendall Garden with fine wine, local art, delicious food, and a festive Derby atmosphere.

Guests are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the Derby with stylish hats, spring attire, and festive flair as we gather for one of Lee-Fendall’s favorite annual traditions.

Wine & Art Night is the museum’s annual spring fundraiser supporting the Lee-Fendall House Museum & Garden, helping us preserve and share nearly 200 years of Alexandria history through the stories of the people who lived and worked on the property from 1785 to 1972.

We are also honored to welcome back Alexandria Mayor Alyia Gaskins, who will join us in the garden and offer brief remarks during the evening.
