Four lucky couples are in for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes treat at the 2024 Breeders’ Cup with Barbara Banke of Jackson Family Wines, followed by five nights at the ultra-luxury villa of Cuvée Los Cabos.

Barbara Banke is renowned in both the horse racing and wine worlds. She worked side by side with her husband, the late Jess Stonestreet Jackson, to build the Jackson Family Wines empire and together they founded Stonestreet Farms. Stonestreet has won 35 graded stakes and has been the leading breeder of yearlings at auction for the past five years.

The Breeders’ Cup is the championship series of American and International Racing, where racehorses from around the globe come to compete. Your party will attend the event like only owners do as the personal guests of Barbara Banke, chairman of the Breeders’ Cup. You’ll enjoy luxury accommodations, access to the exclusive Owner’s Party on Thursday night and meet many of the famous personalities in horse racing today, from trainers to owners to the champion horses themselves. Watch the horses train in the morning, get insider handicapping advice, attend a private party with VIP entertainment before the races and experience horse racing as only a true insider can.

After Del Mar a private jet will whisk you to Los Cabos for a five-night stay at Cuvée’s Seaside La Casita, a five-bedroom gem overlooking the Sea of Cortez. The villa features a spacious living area, a fully equipped chef’s kitchen, an outdoor terrace with a heated infinity pool and spa and a palapa bar and grill. Experiences include chef-prepared dinners, a tour of Cabo San Lucas’ best taco spots and a day of deep-sea fishing. Golfers will enjoy a round at Palmilla Golf Club, a renowned Jack Nicklaus-designed course offering stunning views and ranked among the world’s “Top 100.”

Befitting a champion, the winning bidder will receive a precious 2010-2019 vertical Magnum collection of La Muse red wine from Vérité winery, a gem in the Jackson Family Wines portfolio. This collection is composed of 10 distinctive vintages, including four bottlings rated a perfect 100-points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.
