How About A Gamecock Football-Bourbon Trail Getaway?
We are partnering with the Alumni Association for a VIP Bourbon Trail trip
We are happy to announce that we are partnering with the University of South Carolina Alumni Association for a unique Kentucky Bourbon Trail/ Gamecock Football VIP experience!
Being able to share our love of both bourbon and Gamecock athletics through this trip is something that I am personally so excited about! The chance to explore several amazing stops on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail alongside some Gamecock faithful is a dream come true. Not to mention going to see our guys kick some Wildcat tail in Lexington!
Here’s what the Alumni Association has to say about this exclusive opportunity:
Calling all die-hard Gamecock football fans! We have an exclusive, VIP weekend experience designed just for you. Join us in Lexington, Kentucky October 6 – 9 for a Gamecock alumni trip you don’t want to miss.
Start the weekend at a private event at Maker’s Mark, a Gamecock-owned distillery, on Thursday and then tour and taste at Buffalo Trace Distillery on Friday. This package also includes private dinners with your fellow Gamecocks on Thursday and Friday nights. End the weekend at the official University of South Carolina tailgate followed by the football game at Kroger Field where the Gamecock football team will take on the Kentucky Wildcats. Best of all, we’re providing transportation all weekend, so you can enjoy yourself without worrying about logistics.
