    Beer Cheese & Pretzels

    Service and staff are wonderful and knowledgeable, not to mention the cutest cat Peaches. The updated food menu has a great selection, the beer cheese and pretzels are my favorite. Lovely way to spend a day, the building itself has lots of character and not to mention an amazing view from the outdoor seating area.

    I loved this place. The atmosphere was amazing. I loved walking though the antique barn to get to the tasting room. I bought a bottle of the Cabernet Dore and tasted several others. Their cheese board was very unique and well thought out. We had a smoked Gouda with honey that was AMAZING. Wine selection was nice. Service was impeccable. I will definitely be back to this Winery!

    Wine tasting and cheese board. Excellent!

    Excellent! Be prepared to fall in love with the atmosphere of this gem! The sangria was amazing and I love the focus on local products! The service was wonderful, such sweet people!

    Love this newly discovered winery! LOTS of Outdoor seating available! Great prices! Wine flights were a great deal at $10 for 9 tastings! Had a cheese board with yummy local cheeses. Beautiful setting both indoors and outdoors! Staff were very friendly and super helpful! The adult "Capri sun" sangria drink pouches were wonderful! Will definitely be back!

    Flight of wine

    Loved it! Very beautiful converted home converted to tasting rooms. We tasted 9 wines very beautifully presented in two flights. Also had a scrumptious cheese board. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Great wines and sangrias. We enjoyed our visit and definitely recommend

    Drove from NC to KY to celebrate our 25th anniversary in Jennifer's happy place ! So glad they were open.

    My wife's and I favorite place to visit in KY. We love the atmosphere and taking time to relax from the everyday. Nini is an awesome person and truly makes everyone feel welcomed. We can't wait for our next visit every time we leave..

    Outdoor seating area

    This hidden gem was such a wonderful experience! The outdoor seating area has a beautiful view, the cheese board was amazing, and they were very knowledgeable about the wine. I can't wait to see more selections soon, as I've heard the summer sangrias are wonderful.

    Nice local gathering place. They offer outdoor tasting because of the pandemic. Most of the tastings were sangria, not for anybody serious, just a fun afternoon with friends

    Cheese tray and our first wine sample

    I love it here! I recently went with a friend to the wine tasting for two. Nini did a great job explaining the wines and the little cheese tray was adorable. When I heard she taught water color classes I knew I had to return for another girls trip. She is a patient teacher and their is no rush to finish your piece. She teaches you techniques rather than telling you what to paint so you're able to be more creative. I highly recommend this experience for a girls weekend.

    Excited to try Harkness!

    What a great location to spend a leisurely afternoon or hour or two. We had a bottle of wine and relaxed in the front room on the couch for a little while. Nini made this such a wonderful experience. We enjoyed talking with her about the wines and the vineyard and with the other guests too. Their Norton is the best Kentucky Norton I have had. They also started us with a dry white wine that was delicious. I can't wait to go back and visit and learn more! Great graphics on the labels, great presentation in the house / tasting room. I loved this experience!!!

    Mimosas
    Tonya L.

    I really enjoyed my visit to Harkness Edwards Vineyards. The entire experience is great. From the walk through the barn to the house where the wine is served, everything is delightful! I met some friends here for the mimosas and brunch boards. I love the way the house is set up. We had our own room to ourselves and felt so comfortable. The mimosas were amazing and so was the food. The only negative thing I need to mention is that as a person with major allergies, I did suffer a bit with sneezing and watery eyes. That is to be expected with an old house. Not sure if they have animals in the house or if something else triggered the reaction. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Special thanks to the owner (or worker) who went out of her way to get a great picture of me and my friends and for making sure we had a great time.

    Keep an eye out for the waterfall on the way to the. Vineyard. It's a very scenic short drive off I-75.

    I had the pleasure of attending Harkness Edwards Vineyards wine tasting advertised on Air B&B. Even in late December it was a scenic drive out in the country. And only a short distance from Lexington. Beautiful dry laid stone border walls marking the various farms along the way. And at least one waterfall. We enjoyed both the short drive, our hosts hospitality. The various wines were delicious. And reasonably priced. We will definitely be back this spring for another look.

    Cheese board

    Love this place!! I went out to the vineyard to do the brunch board and mimosa flight tasting event today and my expectations were far exceeded! Not only is the property gorgeous, but the people are amazing and the food and drink was perfect for a Sunday afternoon! The mimosa portions are generous and the flavors were perfectly seasonal and unique! I typically stay in my downtown square mile, but this is a definite must see and worth the drive. The trip there is so scenic and beautiful. There is seating inside and outside, and the outdoor seating is dog friendly! After finishing out mimosa flights, we decided to split a bottle of wine and it was only $15! Such a deal. I highly recommend checking out the tasting room. The grounds are beautiful for weddings and events as well!

    Enjoying the outside!

    We got an hour of the owners daughter, Nini, undivided attention despite it being a busy Sunday afternoon.

    My wife and I went and checked out this event space and think it will be a great fit for our…read moreupcoming parties in 2015 and 2016+. We booked it for both a corporate event for our California business and also a personal party in 2015 to entertain friends within a one hour flight from Chicago. I was referred to it by a guy in New York who was looking for a place to entertain two sets of clients, one in in Lexington and one in Louisville, at a central location around the Oaks and to do the Bourbon trail one day. It is a midpoint location part way between. They have a unique high ceiling apartment rental next door that I think you can rent in conjunction with the event space. The unit is huge. I stayed one day while I was siting my party weekend. That makes for a great place for the wedding party say or to entertain the most important clients at your event. Both the space and the loft are very unique and have a much younger/modern vibe compared to the traditional decor and architecture for this town. There is a good Mexican restaurant next door. I really liked the open layout, you could decorate it however you liked if you wanted to do a theme, but it also looks great with the minimalist shop lights and functional sliding warehouse-style door. I don't want to quote prices because it probably depends but I was surprised how reasonable it was, talk to them yourself... The primary drawbacks as I see it is there is nothing else to rent like this within 20 miles, so I probably will have to rent it several years in advance and I tend to have a hard time planning work events too far in advance so it may be booked before my 16 and 17 event is planned. I talked to Kevin, who was very informative and down to earth. I met with an owner there also who happened to be dropping by to weigh in on some details. He is a broker in this town and said he did this as a creative outlet (enjoys rehabbing historic properties) and to increase the demand for permanent housing nearby as he is an investor, so that is how he can justify to rent it out at what I calc'd to be below-market rates for this type of space. If you like modern style, high ceilings and flexible space with a nod to the past and walkability to nearby goods and services(huge factor for us) is a big consideration for you, this is your thing. Check it out for yourself ... I think you will agree with what I am saying though- the place is sharp and this town had needed something like it for a long time. Look forward to many events here.

Quaint and in the heart of sweet Shelbyville! Don't know much about price range of renting the venue but it's worth checking into for any private party or quaint wedding!!! Down side to the location is finding it! But- once you do- it so neat and special!!! To the owners- you may want to paint the back door a funky bright color for parkers that park behind the venue to find the right entrance!! And painting the front door the same! We were a bit confused of where to get in... But that seems to be an easy fix!

    We chose the Main on Main as our reception venue after touring a few places in Lexington and have…read moreabsolutely no regrets! We chose the MoM for a few reasons: it was close to our ceremony site, provided parking for guests that we could pay for (for a reasonable cost), on-site catering by Dupree, ability to seat our amount of guests, but mainly for the AMAZING skyline view of Lexington as the venue is on the top floor of the Chase building. Mike and I worked with their coordinator Heather, who was wonderful and so helpful throughout the planning process. She is a busy lady, but would always respond back to emails/phone calls whenever she could. We met with her ~5x before the wedding to plan, brainstorm ideas, and review details. She gave a few options for the layout of the reception and how things would "flow" but I deferred to her judgment as I thought she would know what would be the optimal way. For selecting our menu, we had so many options. We decided to do a buffet-style dinner so people could have more choice over their meal. It was honestly so hard to decide on dinner choices because everything sounded delicious. We did a beef tenderloin and chicken meat option, roasted broccolini and smashed potatoes with the sweet potato kale salad- ALL delish. We are still having people tell us how good the food was! The event thanks to Heather and our day-of-coordinator went off without a hitch! I highly recommend the venue as an event space- particularly for wedding receptions!

    This is not a public restaurant but you can reserve this place for any kind of events…read more We had an office party here. The place was pretty spacious to host around 150 people. The view from the top is exhilarating. I am not sure if there are any other places in Lexington which offers a sky view of the city. We had a open bar, and they had pretty decent drinks. The appetizers were good. I didn't have much as I was saving my hunger for the main course. But I heard from my colleagues that the appetizers were equally good as the main course. We were offered 4 main courses and asked to pick one beforehand. 1. Grilled Sirloin with Red Wine Horseradish and Chive Butter, crispy garlic marbled potatoes, seasonal roasted veggies, yeast rolls, mixed green salad 2. Garlic lavender and wine glazed chicken, wild mushroom gnocchi, shaved brussels sprouts, yeast rolls, mixed green salad 3. Bourbon and cider glazed salmon, herb rice pilaf, lemon roasted asparagus, yeast rolls, mixed green salad 4. Vegetarian: Grilled ratatouille napoleon, crispy garlic marbled potatoes, seasonal roasted veggies, yeast rolls, mixed green salad I picked Salmon for myself and Vegetarian for my +1. The salmon was amazing. The herb rice pilaf was yummy. Most of my colleagues from my table had the Grilled Sirloin. It looked good and they said good things about it. The main course was supplemented with some good desserts. This is one of the best places I have been recently and I am surprised how very few people in Lexington have heard about this place. This would be a best place for an OYE (Official Yelp Event) so that more Yelpers can yelp about this place and spread the word.
