The Kentucky Derby is often referred to as the most exciting two minutes in sports, but the fun definitely lasts longer than that. This year, celebrate the derby in style at Three Canyon Beer & Wine Garden on Saturday, May 6 from noon – 2 p.m.
Even though the Kentucky Derby is the longest running sporting event in the United States, there aren’t many American sporting events that transform into a celebration of southern culture. Whether it’s sipping a mint julep or donning dusting off the hat, Three Canyon Beer & Wine Garden plans to recreate those warm spring days in the south at the garden party.
A ticket to Three Canyon’s Kentucky Derby Celebration is $45 a person.
Your ticket includes:
- 1 meal from Mr. Cookman’s food truck
- 1 gourmet pastry/dessert
- Choice of 1 glass of champagne or beer
- An afternoon of Kentucky Derby themed fun
Also, fasten your favorite tie and find your floppiest hat because there will also be prizes handed over to the best dressed guests.
Aside from all the food, beer, mint and wines, there is a two-minute horse race taking place on televisions set up in the garden and the indoor bar area.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
