About Bluegrass · Lexington

The Bluegrass region surrounding Lexington is the heart of Kentucky wine country. Here, rolling horse farms share the limestone-rich landscape with vineyards growing Norton, Chambourcin, and Vidal Blanc. The same soils that filter the water for Kentucky bourbon give these wines a distinctive mineral character.
