Join in Louisville's many parties and parades leading up to this fashion-filled horse race. Sing "My Old Kentucky Home" with a 150,000-person chorus before witnessing first-hand some of the world's most beautiful horses compete in the Run for the Roses.
Relax in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains at this 4,200-acre working farm, about 25 miles from Knoxville. Take in the mountain scenery, eat gourmet meals that respect the land, and retire to one of their finely furnished guest rooms.
Leave civilization behind for a sophisticated three-day float down limestone canyon walls along the Rio Grande in Texas. A guide will handle the paddling, and a Swiss-born chef will more than satisfy your palate with unique alfresco dining.
