Even as the great-granddaughters of Louisville bourbon icon Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle, sisters Louise, Carrie, and Chenault know that the most meaningful moments in life come from ingredients you just can’t bottle: family heritage and tradition. Their childhood was defined by Kentucky Derby parties on the porch with pimento cheese and deviled eggs, weekends on the lake with paper bag lunches, Thanksgiving turkey fries in the driveway—simple gatherings that felt special because they relied on back-pocket recipes and well-worn rituals. In Van Winkle & Company, the Van Winkle sisters share more than 100 recipes that celebrate the spirit of effortless yet elevated hospitality.
Across four seasons of menus, you’ll find family-favorite recipes to inspire your next get-together. Build a big, springtime brunch spread with festive Bubbles for Breakfast Sunrise Bellinis and a perfectly Custardy French Toast Bake with Pecan Crumble. A laid-back, outdoor summer dinner might include Pan-Fried Lake Trout with Easie’s Remoulade alongside Carrie’s Warm Potato Salad with Herbed Vinaigrette, while a festive fall potluck calls for a Bourbon Aperol Spritz and Crispy Skillet Kielbasa with Maple and Mustard. There are plenty of cocktails to get everyone in the spirit, with bourbon-based twists on the classics and batched options for easy hosting.
Alongside every menu are the family stories that make these recipes meaningful, and the signature touches that make guests feel at home. Filled with family photographs, entertaining inspiration, and Van Winkle lore, Van Winkle & Company is an invitation to turn everyday occasions into lasting family traditions.
