Had the pleasure of stopping by Talon Winery today during our trip through Kentucky and thought I'd…read moregive a quick recap for my fellow yelpers. The grounds are undeniably beautiful. The scenery, atmosphere, and overall property create a relaxing environment that feels very "Kentucky wine country." The staff was also incredibly friendly, welcoming, and wonderful with families and kids. The gift shop and tasting space itself functionally was not laid out in a way that made the experience especially easy or comfortable to enjoy. For those of you interested in tastings, there is nowhere comfortable to sit during the tasting process, unless you want to trade into plastic cups and head outside. This unintentionally created a rushed feeling, even though the staff themselves never pressured us. As for the wines, I tried the Cabernet Sauvignon, Equestrian Series, and Crimson Cabernet. I personally tend to lean towards drier, more robust wines, these felt fairly lackluster overall and lacked the depth and balance I personally look for in a wine that can either stand confidently on its own or pair beautifully with food. A few of the sweeter wines others in my group sampled came across far more grape-forward than expected and reminded me more of juice than a refined wine experience. (My overall impression was they paired more with $10 bottles than the prices that were asked) While the staff was clearly well-intentioned and friendly, the overall tasting experience lacked some of the seriousness, polish, and professionalism that you would expect from a true leader in the wine space. We had to request that glasses be emptied and cleaned between tastings, water was never offered between pours, and some of the finer details that elevate a winery experience simply felt overlooked. That said, this place has a lot of potential. Between the scenery, atmosphere, and welcoming team, I could absolutely see why Talon Winery would become a favorite spot for locals or visitors looking for a casual afternoon outing. However, for those looking for a polished, elevated "Napa-style" wine experience, this may not quite be the home run I had hoped it would be.

LITERALLY THE BEST!…read more If you are near the area or wanting to even drive a little or you're passing through I can grantee you some great drinks, food and great people! Everyone who works there is the sweetest, very knowledgeable, everyone is on one accord. They have different events, from murder mysteries to live music. Murder mysteries are 4-5 course meal that you can pair wine to, the other food within the pictures is from that event. It's so delicious perfectly paired and made. Pizza and cheese bread is delicious! We have also had the charcuterie boards. Love the chutney they use. The wine is great you can do wine tasting a tour, lots of beautiful outdoors views. Since coming for a year, they continue to expand this place and make it better and better!

You order all your food and drinks at the newly renovated bar area and they bring your food to your table. You can purchase wine by the bottle and take the bottle with you in a special sealed bag for travel, if you don't finish it at the restaurant. My wife had their Chardonnay and I had a Blue Stallion Oktoberfest. For dinner, my wife had the Chicken Salad Croissant with Homemade Chips and I had the Hearth Burger with Homemade Chips. Both were very good. The Jenkins Twins were the live music tonight and they were great. I took a picture of their upcoming music talent for January and first part of February.

I loved learning about the process it takes to make bourbon and how Wilderness Trail got started and differentiated itself from other brands. The tasting at the end was delicious (don't forget to go back to the main lobby and get your bourbon ball) and there was a bar where you could grab a drink and cozy up by the fireplace and watch a game. We had a great time and this was one of my favorite distilleries to visit.

Beautifully appointed outdoor space, indoor tasting and store space. The tour is well crafted, from the great historical lineage that led to its creation and the quick yet well curated behind the scenes tour to the lovely tasting room all worth a visit. Great product and property and staff. Highly recommend.

We opted for the black walnut and orange bitters, which was an excellent pairing. Even better, we were able to take our cocktails on the tour with us. I wasn't as impressed with the tour as others were. The operation is extremely small. From the raised platform above the fermentation tanks, you can see everything. It was a high level walk thru. The tasting was intimate. Our host Kim did a great job walking us through the tasting experience. My favorite was the Minor Case Rye paired with the orange truffle. The other bourbons weren't in my flavor profile, so this is probably my only time coming here.

When we visited, there were seven wines to be tasted for $8 and the tasting fee is waved if you buy a bottle of wine. The winemaker and owner Brian is a true gem - he works by himself but made all of his customers feel important while he had to run tastings, answer the phone, and check people out. He took the time to get to know everyone's names and you can tell he is immensely proud of his wine. All of the wines are award winners. We took a few bottles home to enjoy at home in NY!

The fella and I like drinking wine and trying out new places…read more While we were in the area visiting his family, he said "....isn't there a winery around here?" To which I responded "Well, there HAS to be! And we're going!" A quick google search revealed Chateau Du Vieux Corbeau. It is just up the street from the Pioneer Playhouse and right next to a charming looking Inn. We got there around 5pm, and they are open until 6pm most days. There was only one woman working, and she was finishing up with a group already there, ringing up their purchases and chit chatting. A tasting, including all of the available wines costs only $2, and bottles are very reasonably priced. All of their wine is aged in stainless steel, as the winemaker has an oak allergy. It's an interesting thing to do. I personally love oakiness in my dry wines, so I kind of missed the flavor, but if you don't like it they have wines for you! And many of the wines don't have any added sugar. They weren't my most favorite wines, but I found several that I enjoyed! The woman running the tasting was wonderful! Friendly and very knowledgeable about the wine as well as the surrounding area, giving tips on things to do in Danville. If you are only intending on doing a tasting, bring cash since it is only $2 per person. But credit cards are accepted and a bottle is around $10. We left with 3 bottles between us! Should you want to have some wine while in Danville, I would certainly recommend paying Chateau du Vieux Corbeau!
