Derby Day at Grapeful Wine Bar
Saturday, May 2nd | Party Starts at 5:00 PM
Get ready for the most exciting two minutes in sports! We’re turning the bar into the Winner’s Circle for an evening of high-stakes fun, Southern charm, and the finest sips in Owatonna. Whether you’re here for the horses or the hats, it’s going to be a photo-finish kind of night!
The Signature Sip: The Prosecco Mint Julep
We’re putting a Grapeful twist on the classic! Enjoy our Prosecco Mint Julep Special—a crisp, effervescent blend of premium Prosecco and fresh-muddled mint. It’s light, zesty, and the only way to celebrate race day.
The “Best Hat” Live Contest
It wouldn’t be the Derby without the fashion! Dust off your most extravagant fascinators or your dappest fedoras. We will be judging the Best Hat Live at the bar at 5:45 PM.
The Prize: The winner takes home a bottle of premium wine!
Blind Draw: Pick a Horse, Win Wine!
No racing forms or experts required! When you arrive, reach in and draw a horse’s name. If your horse crosses the finish line first, YOU win a bottle of wine!
Drawings open at 5:00 PM—make sure to get yours before the 5:57 PM post time!
