Sundowner Soirée

The Inaugural Sundowner Soirée

Presented by the Velvet Lioness Society

A Multi-Sensory Evening of Art, Elegance, and Adventure

Step into a world where elegance meets untamed beauty. The Sundowner Soirée is the first curated experience from the Velvet Lioness Society — a celebration of artistry, connection, and the senses.

Hosted at the historic Ingenhuett on High in Comfort, Texas, this intimate gathering invites guests to indulge in live classical music, fine art, handcrafted jewelry, and curated sensory encounters that awaken the spirit. Enjoy a signature cocktail, light hors d’oeuvres, and unexpected delights designed to immerse you in the essence of Safari Luxe.

Guests are encouraged to dress in elevated evening wear with a touch of adventure — think roaring 20s meets safari chic.

This is more than an event. It’s a moment — a gathering for those who live life as art.
