This was a nice relaxing stop. There was a guitar singer playing some good music. If you are a fan of dogs there are 2 large friendly dogs here for petting. This winery is also located in the area of a few distilleries and chocolate locations. We did a couple flights and all the wines were very good.

My husband and I were in town around New Years. We stopped by this vineyard and had a lovely time. The tasting room was beautiful, service was great, and we enjoyed hanging out with some 4 legged residents

Such a friendly spot to cozy up by the fire and enjoy some wine. The service is so kind and generous. We visited on a chilly afternoon so it was nice to have seats on the couch in front of their fire place. I partook in one of the wine tastings which was not your usual presentation. I enjoyed all the different tastes and smells the wines presented. I can't say enough good things about the staff and how they treated us. It feels like family. I would recommend this winery visit to anyone in the Frankfort area. Such a cute spot and even kid friendly. Have lots of animals on the property such as horses, chickens, llamas, a dog and a few cats.

They are so nice The samples come in a vial, which is so cute The people are nice The service is excellent - there was a function going on and still they welcomed us

6 Tastings for $12

Prodigy came across my search for wineries just outside of Lexington. The inside is very rustic with the traditional wine counter, tables to sit at, and a lot of items for purchase- clothes, cups, hats, and more. A tasting comes with 6 samples for $12 each; very reasonable! The wines were good but nothing we thoroughly enjoyed. Most were on the sweeter side even if listed as dry. The server who helped us was extremely nice and attentive!

Horses

Food was good!, service was good, and Ambiance was Amazing! They allow you to pet the horses, dogs and cats, and walk around, an amazing dog, some cats, some horses. A wonderful day and experience!!! Amazing wine as well! They also have some live music as well! Not sure if just weekends or not.

No a very busy place

Terribly slow service. It wasn't very busy. There were two people working. We weren't getting food just some wine flights. And we had a time line since we had reservations at a distillery. I usually don't give bad reviews but we ordered and waited and waited and others came in and we were served out of order but out of order and not at all are different things. I made the mistake of ordering a charcuterie board no even asked if that would take too long. We were going to just leave, which again I never do, but then 30 minutes in half of us got our drinks. So we had to stay.

Wow I can't believe I hadn't been to this winery until now. There were so many great wines in our tasting. My favorites were the Chardonel, Pinot noir, Traminette, Riesling, raspberry wine, and port. I love how they use test tubes for the tasting flight as well. Nice visual touch! The only drawback is that you need to pour each tasting into the same glass so you need to be prepared to rinse out your glass after each sample if you don't want the wines mixing. The scenery is beautiful here and I can't wait to go back in the spring or summer when it is green and even more beautiful. The property is really nice to take a walk and see horses, chickens, and cats as well.

We enjoyed a wine tasting, added the charcuterie board which has several nice selections to accompany the wine samples. The service was excellent & took care of all our needs. The grounds are beautiful!!

Wine flight $8
Stella P.

We enjoy the ambiance of prodigy winery. The selection of wine is wonderful and the service is always excellent. My favorite wine is the Black Dog Blues. It's very sweet. Prodigy offers a wine flight for $8 and you receive a complimentary free wine glass to keep as a souvenir. They have a wine club for additional discounts and festivities. Their charcuterie board was also excellent. Their gift shop also has many wonderful trinkets and gifts. We will definitely be back!

This winery is very hit and miss with me. Sometimes it's great and we make an afternoon out of it. Other times, it's just eh. My latest visit was more on the eh side. First off, I appreciate the precautions they are taking with Covid. Staff is wearing masks and customers are asked to wear masks unless seated. The tastings have moved to test tubes. As you receive a complimentary glass with the tasting, I would have preferred to receive the glass at the beginning of the visit so that I could pour the test tube into a glass. I felt like I was going wine shooters and couldn't really enjoy the wine. We also got a cheese tray. It was just ok. 3/4 different cheeses with 4/5 slices each, a handful of nuts, a bit of mustard and some minced looking something (we didn't taste it because it just didn't look appetizing). Maybe we should have asked for a knife but it was kind of weird that we weren't given anything to spread the mustard and soft cheese with. I do enjoy the wine and already had several bottles at home so I didn't make a purchase this visit. The test tube situation was a bit strange and kind of put me off of making this a winery to visit again. Maybe it's just a Covid change though, so I'll keep my options open in the future.

We stopped at this beautiful winery on our way out of town. It is set on breathtaking views of horse pastures. The inside is rustic, with a lot of souvenirs right at the front, that kind of separates the bar where you order/check out and some indoor tables. I think it would be better placed to a side, but maybe marketing works out better that way for them. The server was very nice. We ordered a flight with charcuterie. The flights are served in test tubes in a stand which was unique, although we still had a glass to pot into. I prefer having glasses where I don't have to pour other wines into an already used glass so I can get the right flavors without mixing wines, but it was just a fun stop, not an official wine tasting experience. The wines were surprisingly good, except one that we did not like at all, but that's how wine goes. They were semi-sweet, not as sweet as I expected for the region, and palatable. I prefer dry wines personally, and I ended up purchasing 4 to take home.

I love wine. I love winery hopping. This is called Chrisman…read moreMill Vineyards. I expected a vineyard. This is *actually* a tasting room at the mall. To be fair, according to Drink Ky, they have a vineyard that is not open to the public, but the winery page on Yelp takes you to the tasting room. So...I think my expectations left me a little disappointed. I still love drinking wine and I wasn't going to say no, but I thought we were going somewhere else. That said, the space is lovely. A nice retail area, brightly lit and clean. The bar area isn't extensive, but large enough to seat a couple of small groups. We sat at the end of the bar and were greeted quickly by the guy working. He explained the tasting options. Flights range from $5-$8, and you get three generous pours or your selection of wines or sangrias. I opted for the wine flight option. My selections were the Vidal, Sweet Jessamine Rose, and Sweet Riverbend Red. They were alright, nothing that made me want to buy a bottle. Apparently they are in the midst of a special offer for a free fondue plate with two tastings. That was a nice surprise! The flights come served on a barrel stave. It is a nice idea, but it is a little unstable. We both thought it was a little funny when the music that was playing switched to "Get Low" and some other club-like music. The fella liked it, I kinda killed the ambiance for me. If you are shopping at the mall in Lexington, and need a lil' wine time, Chrisman is a good option. If you want to go to a winery...this will probably disappoint you some as well.

From the windooooooowwwww to the wall... (more on this in a moment)…read more By all accounts, this place should be five stars. It is part of the mall area so it's not really a vineyard. It's more of a mall shop where you can also do tastings of their wine. Parking is plentiful. You have to keep in mind... you're at a mall! There are plenty of spaces and as long as you're not a pampered person that needs the closest spot, you'll be just fine. The guy working greeted us right away. They have a few different flights but none are over 8 dollars. Each flight gives you three generous pours. No complaints there at all. While we were drinking our wine, music was playing. It was a mix that fit the store perfectly. It was us, another couple, the worker guy and another worker girl that came out. At one point we started to hear, "Three, six, nine, damn you're fine. Move it till you sock it to me one more time" Yes! You guessed it... skeet skeet skeet. We noticed it right away. I said, "This is the unedited version too. Awesome!" The girl working noticed it right away and started laughing. It was funny but the guy working went ahead and changed the song. I understand that if the wrong crowd heard that song, it would stir up controversy. In my opinion, if they can't take a little skeet in their ears, then they probably shouldn't be drinking wine. My flight consisted of dry wines. The Norton, Norton Reserve, and Firefly. The Norton Reserve was my favorite of the three. Easily drinkable but I'm not sure if I'd need to buy a bottle or not. Our tasting also came with a fondue board. That's a nice little perk that we weren't expecting. When it comes down to it, this place is brilliant and more malls should lease to tasting rooms. For all the people that don't like to shop with their family, significant others or children... walk down to the winery and drink for a few hours. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here but if you're already in the congested mall area of Lexington... go ahead and stop in.

After seeing all the rave reviews for this distillery, we decided to schedule a late-afternoon…read moretour, and I'm so glad we did! The property itself is absolutely beautiful, and our tour guide, Cristy, was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. Before we got started, she made sure to go over important safety tips, which I really appreciated. I will say, out of all the distillery tours I've been on, this one was definitely the most challenging physically. If you're bringing older adults or anyone with limited mobility, just keep in mind that there are some tight spaces, steps, and stairs throughout the tour. At the end of the tour, we were led into a speakeasy-style tasting room, which was such a neat atmosphere! Our tasting included several samples, chocolate, and an Old Fashioned. After the tasting, we were taken through to the gift shop, which had some unique souvenirs. We decided to grab a few drinks at the bar and hang out for a bit before heading out. Surprisingly, Cristy was there to greet us again and even gave us some great drink recommendations! Overall, we definitely recommend the experience! Just be mindful of the physical demands of the tour if you or someone in your group has limited mobility.

This place is way too big and touristy for a memorable tasting experience if that's your goal…read more However, the buildings are significant historically and architecturally so it's worth a visit. So big in fact that the parking lot is across the street. It was very crowded. I parked and walked over to explore the extensive grounds. Many of the buildings are old, the castle dating from 1887, with distilling at the location since 1819, with an 18 year break from the start of Prohibition, and an even longer break from 1972-2016. The site deteriorated greatly during this time until the Old Taylor site was restored and became Castle&Key. The castle and several other buildings are now fully restored, with the castle serving as the main visitor area. Inside the castle it was bustling with tourists so I left after a short wander. There are at least three places to sample spirits here: inside the castle building, in a covered bar patio outside, and a tiny stand-up bar in the patio in front of the castle. That's where I went. I chose two 1/2-ounce pours from the 10 available (bourbons, ryes, gins, and a vodka) for a reasonable $4 each and sat at a nearby table. The Restoration Rye and the standard Small Batch Bourbon were both decent but I wasn't motivated to buy a bottle. There's no cell service here but they supposedly have wifi. However it wasn't working and nobody I asked seemed to know why or for how long. Unacceptable for such a large, touristy place. As I said, the main draw is the buildings and the history behind this place. The site was striking architecturally, the old buildings of various types, from the vine-covered stone castle, metal industrial buildings with pipes running overhead, and an old rusting water tower probably no longer used, with any new buildings thoughtfully placed so as not to detract from the historical ones. And the grounds themselves were very pretty, flowers lining the walkways, some formal gardens, a rushing river overflowing a dam forming one boundary opposite the road side. Walk up the road a bit and you'll discover even more ruins. Not part of Castle&Key anymore but part of the original Old Taylor site as well. I love old ruins and found these striking. And just past these ruins is another distillery, Glenn's Creek. Check it out too but beware: it's a very different experience and may not appeal to everyone.

This was my first time at Buffalo Trace. It was a spontaneous visit while driving through the area…read moreon my way West. It was a Saturday so likely the busiest day of the week. There was a long line of cars backed up into the street to get in and park. I'm not on a set timetable so I waited. I ended up getting one of the last spots in their overflow parking lot. I then waited in a line for about 45 minutes to get the wristband that allowed me to get inside the grounds. Luckily the weather was nice for that wait and I enjoyed the sun. Then there was a short line of about 10 minutes for the tasting sessions. From there on out, no lines except for the checkout line in the gift shop. This brand has a very loyal following. Of the whiskey varieties, bourbon is my favorite as there are many variations and complexities in each bottle I enjoyed the tasting session which are well organized and small groups. We sampled 3 varieties and finished with a bourbon ball made by a local candy company. The tasting took about 20 minutes then I was free to explore the large grounds. Buffalo Trace has a beautiful working campus with lots of great photo ops and interesting buildings. Old and new mixed. The grounds are manicured and There's also lots of staff around to help with questions and directions. I ended up buying several bottles of their products including the self branded Bourbon Lemonade (currently only available at this site), Bourbon Cream, and semi-rare limited bottle of aged single barrel bourbon. There are lots of Buffalo Trace branded merch throughout the huge gift store. These guys know what they're doing when marketing their name. Every employee I encountered was super polite and helpful. This distillery is a nice local and national treasure. I would love to return one day when in the Frankfort area.

I absolutely love this distillery! Friendly staff and fantastic bourbon selection at great prices…read more They do a Daily Drop of hard to find bourbons which is why people start lining up early in morning. They open at 9am and offer free tours as long as you reserve online. The gift shop is huge and some of the bourbons are limited to one or two per person. Since many of the bourbons are not available in my area,this is a must stop when in the Louisville area.
