A World Famous Mardi Gras And Wine Industry Phenomenon
Where the celebration of wine, food, and fun meets mardi gras
Countdown to Cork!
The Krewe of Cork has royal beginnings and a regal story to tell
In 2000, a group of wine enthusiasts who gathered for lunch on the first Friday of each month founded the Krewe of Cork. At its inception, Patrick Van Hoorebeek was bestowed the title of Forever King, becoming the first person in Mardi Gras history to receive such a distinction. The original members were also honored with official titles, including Captain, Duke, Barrister, Chef, and Queen.
While the individuals holding these offices have changed over the years, King Patrick’s steadfast leadership has remained a constant, guiding the Krewe to remarkable growth and success. What began as a small gathering of wine lovers has flourished into an organization of more than 450 members, representing New Orleans, communities throughout Louisiana, numerous states across the nation, and even countries around the world.
