Such a beautiful place. This off the grid location is certainly a hidden gem. I attended an event here and it was just perfection. The grounds are gorgeous and inside is just so quaint with an at home feel. It's full of unique antiques and decorated so tastefully. The owner and her beautiful daughter were so kind. They were friendly and helpful throughout our event. They are just the most charming hosts. This would be an excellent location for a wedding, rehearsal dinner or a shower. There are various picturesque locations throughout. Go check the winery out, you will not be disappointed! read more

We stopped in just around when they opened on a Saturday morning. We were heading to Lexington for the day and weren't going to make it to our initial first stop in time for their on-the-hour tour. So a quick Yelp search (and a perusal of a DrinkKY brochure conveniently kept in the car) we figured out we could make a stop at Castle Hill Winery on the way. As we were walking up, the gentleman on a riding lawnmower hopped off to greet us and take us inside for our tasting. He is the owner and the winemaker and a regular Chatty Cathy! Super friendly and ready to talk about anything and everything. Including his wines! The wine tasting costs $1 per sample (you try 6 of the wines, it costs you $6). And the wines run $15 per bottle. Which is pretty reasonable, in my Kentucky-wine drinking experience. I tried several wines and enjoyed them. I ended up also buying a bottle of the strawberry wine to take home. The fruit wines are sweet without being syrupy. I really liked them. The venue is lovely. Nice outdoor space with a lot of green and seating options. It looks like a lovely place to have a wedding or private event. I would highly recommend a visit here. The only draw back is that I don't think they have a working credit card reader. They accept credit card payments, but will be processing them the old fashioned way...hand-writing out your receipt, taking your card information down, and processing it all....later. So, if you are planning ahead for a visit here, I would recommend bringing cash. read more

What an amazing experience at the Castle Hill Winery. The owner was full of stories of the Castle Hill farm and the neighboring castle next door. He was so fun to talk to while we sampled wines. There wines were also really great. They aren't quite in season yet so we had the whole place to ourselves. We had a blast. read more

Hours on their website says they're open 1-5pm on Sundays. We made the drive out there and they were closed. After reading several other reviews it sounds like they aren't open during their posted hours. The building also looks in a bit of disarray. We won't be trying to come back here. There are a lot of other wineries in the area to try. read more

My friend and I already went to 3 wineries in the area and this was our last stop. I would make sure to call before you drop by. Wow!! This place has so much nostalgia and perfect for weddings/events. You drive by old barns, one abandoned home and the backside of the winery is the beautiful rolling hills and farm. This is the most prettiest and oldest tasting room I've ever been to. What stood out was the huge oil painting hanging above the bar. The tasting room contains a 28 foot long back and front bar with large mirrors. It has a beautiful floor to ceiling rock fireplace and features 3 sets of French doors that open up to our large outdoor patios. Most all are original- flooring, bar, lighting fixtures. I appreciated and loved that they preserved the place. The owner was very friendly and takes pride of their building. Before you enter the tasting room, there is also a gift shop. The wine tastings were only a $1.00 a tasting which are 1 oz pours. This is what I tried: -Shiraz-This Shiraz has spicy blackberry, plum, and peppery flavors. There are additional notes of licorice, bitter chocolate and mocha. -Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet is mellow and mild, hearty and rich. It has a deep red color, with the primary taste being black currant. Other overtones include blackberry and mint. The wine has an oaky, vanilla flavor. My favorite from the tasting. -Castle Hill Red- Not quite as harsh as other reds, Castle Hill Red has less tannin than a Cabernet. It is mellow but still complex, a bit chewy. Castle Hill Red is known for the flavors of plums, black cherry, violets, and orange. -Riesling- Riesling is a semi-sweet but complex white wine that ages very well. Its flavors include melon, fruity and floral flavors , as well as some honey and musky tones . -Castle Hill White- This robust white wine is a semi-sweet wine. Wine pricing for bottles are $15.00 and they make all their wines. I had a really great experience and enjoyed talking to the owner. read more

Unfortunately this was our first winery on our tour. It wasn't inviting, didn't even look opened. Vines were overgrown, facilities not maintained, had to call in order to do a tasting. They were out of the 2 wines I really wanted to taste and the Camelot wine I did taste, smelled and tasted funny. They don't make wines out of their grapes, the bring grapes in from all over the country. I gave 2 stars figuring the pandemic might of hit them hard. In good conscience, I couldn't recommend a trip there unless they get it together. read more

This was an amazing experience! The man that owned it poured our wine samples. So sad I didn't get his name! He was so sweet and welcoming he told us everything about each wine. He told us about the winery and the weddings they have there. We had an amazing time and the wine was just as good. So thankful for this wonderful experience. Definitely check this place out. It is worth it. read more

Castle Hill Winery - Wineries Near Me - Versailles, Kentucky

The drive up is beautiful. Lovely trees and plants. From there it gets confusing. No sign into the winery. We took look around past rooms full of junk and found it. No air inside so we decided to enjoy drinks outside. Folding tables and chairs were scattered amount overgrown bushes and weeds. I know it's summer and I expect bugs but, there were so many flies and Gnats we couldn't enjoy. With a dollar per taste I would recommend going to Wildside near by. Staff are friendlier and it's a much nicer atmosphere. The wine is ok. Maybe try it in the winter when it's not so hot and buggy. read more

I don't know if my friend and I came at a bad timing as it was around 4pm but when we went into the winery bar, it was hot and sticky like the AC wasn't turn on. The guy wasn't so friendly and we felt rushed as he told us which wine was dry and sweet. He didn't offer us crackers with our wine tasting or any side story about the place. read more

Castle Hill Winery - Wineries Near Me - Versailles, Kentucky

We were out adventuring, and came across this delightful little winery. Very clean, great staff, and wonderful wine!!

Stopped in on a Sunday and was impressed with the quality and taste of their wines. Very friendly staff and inviting atmosphere.

Attended a wedding here last evening. Outside, overlooking a horse pasture. Lovely! Catering staff was attentive, food was delicious; both hors d'oeuvres and supper. Indoor venue was rustic and attractive. Nice bathrooms read more

Call before you go. ..we stopped in for a tasting 25 minutes before the posted closing time and we're told they weren't doing them because they had a private party. There was nothing about this on their website or the entrance to the winery . I've never been to a winery that did this...Most parties are booked after hours :) read more

Visited here today and what an extraordinary experience! The customer service was second to none. The wine was fantastic!

Don't waste your time going here. Tried to go there 2 days in a row for wine tasting while in Lexington. Both times, we went after it was opened, and nobody was there. Place looked kind of run down. Only gave it 1 star because I had to give it at least 1 star to post. read more

Stopped by this Sunday.. first stop and fell in love with property. Wine server was so friendly and very well informed.. enjoyed all of her recommendations!! We purchased a bottle to drink later today and wish we lived closer to come back more often.. from AZ read more

My friends had their wedding here. I wouldn't recommend it. There is no "dressing room". If there were a wedding there that day, you wouldn't know it. No signs or decorations saying they were booked. The worst part was the heat. Sometimes in KY, you never know when it will be a scorcher. They had no accommodations for this. The bar room was not climate controlled. Nobody wanted to hang around in there and sweat. Their back room for the reception hall was air conditioned, but just barely. The staff kept the doorway curtains open the whole time, letting cool air out. The high roof-ceiling made the reception hall seem more like a storage back room than a reception hall. The giant flood lights took away from the ambiance and rendered the picture slideshow impossible to see. There were barely any trees around for shade. The wedding guests baked. Better just book a hotel ballroom. read more

Hours listed on their site were M-F 10-6. We arrived @12:45 on a Monday to find the place locked up. Tried calling them twice as we came from out of town, no answer. Sent an email suggesting they update their hours on their site so others won't waste time, no reply. Posted same to their facebook page and they deleted my comment. Guess they only want positive comments about their business to show up!! Maybe they should try be more professional! read more
