The Kentucky Derby Festival Foundation – the Derby Festival’s charitable arm – will hold its second annual “Evening at Vincenzo’s” fund-raiser on Sunday, June 3, at Vincenzo’s Italian Restaurant, 150 South Fifth St. Vincenzo and Agostino Gabriele will host this elegant event, which will feature cooking demonstrations and wine pairings by Huber’s Orchard, Winery and Vineyards. The benefit, which is open to the public, will begin at 6 p.m. with cocktails on the patio, followed by appetizers, dinner and dessert at 7 p.m.

“Last year’s event at Vincenzo’s was a fun and delicious dinner for a great cause,” said Becky Cowan, chair of the Kentucky Derby Festival Foundation. “Proceeds from the event will help the Derby Festival Foundation to continue its mission of supporting charitable causes. We’re looking forward to the five-course meal that the Gabriele brothers will be preparing for a private audience, with special guest chefs assisting.”
