Kendall-Jackson Kentucky Derby Party
We’re disappointed to announce that our 2025 Kentucky Derby Watch Party won’t be happening this year due to unexpected but necessary maintenance on our estate grounds. This event is a highlight for both our team and our guests, and we truly wish we could celebrate with you.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support and look forward to welcoming you to the winery for other incredible experiences throughout the year. Stay tuned for updates—we can’t wait to celebrate together again soon!

No, the decision to cancel our Kentucky Derby Watch Party event is unrelated to any controversy surrounding competitive horse racing. Horse racing is not just a sport to us—it’s a deeply rooted passion built on responsible breeding, training, and care. We are proud of the industry’s continued advancements in safety regulations and aftercare initiatives, which ensure the highest standards for our Thoroughbreds both during and after their racing careers.
We certainly hope so! Be sure to subscribe to the Kendall-Jackson mailing list or follow us on Facebook or Instagram @kjwines for future announcements.
