Our 2025 Hat Contest is presented by La Crema

La Crema Winery is known for their exquisite taste and extraordinary standards… Who better to judge our hat contest?

La Crema, preferred sponsor of the Kentucky Derby, partners with Flea Style in Dallas to make the “official” Kentucky Derby hat. This year La Crema again has the honor of designing this quintessential statement piece for the event.

La Crema is celebrating 45 years in wine making excellence, focusing on cool climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the California Coast and we are excited to have them as a sponsor!

The Spring 2025 Hat Contest will take place in two parts. Come out for the Stomping of the Divots, grab a number, and parade in front of the announcer stand. Our La Crema judge will be taking note and will be ready to give out your awards after the match. Our hat contest prizes are influenced by the various regions in which the La Crema wineries are located:

• Williamette Valley - History Maker

• Sonoma Coast – Coastal Stunner

• Anderson Valley - Renegade Spirit

• Arroyo Seco – Howlin’ Hottie

• Los Carneros – Cool Kitty
