Kentucky is well known for our bourbon distilleries and horse farms, but lesser known is our burgeoning culinary and winery scene. Kentucky is now home to over 70 wineries. We would like to introduce you to a few of our favorites and of course, since it is Kentucky, one of our historic horse farms. On our Spirits of Woodford Tour, we will start with a tasting at the beautiful Equus Run Vineyard. Our final stop will be at Kentucky's own Holly Hill Inn for lunch and an afternoon with Kentucky's most celebrated chef, Ouita Michels.

In Kentucky bourbon is more than the beautiful amber color in your favorite glencairn glass. It is the tattered mash bill found in granddad’s old desk drawer next to his gold pocket watch. It is the black and white photo of grandma smiling at the camera as she makes Christmas dinner. Bourbon is a family tradition proudly handed down from generation to generation. Our resident central Kentucky bourbon historian, Jerry Daniels and his partner Lowell Arnett, share their knowledge of Kentucky’s famous bourbon families on their videocast, Behind the Label. Join our bourbon influencers for a live session on the Pepper Family of Woodford County and a tasting of this historical bourbon lineage.
