The reception space was beautiful, and the barn turned into a lovely dining hall, with giant tables. The staff were using old stables as prep spaces, which was both ingenious and adorable. They set up those fancy schmancy portable bathrooms trailers that feel like real ones. The dance floor was a good size and they set up a big ass fan to battle the humidity. Great wedding venue!

First there is no fees to do the activities but they had less activities because it is a true growing farm. Many animals walking around and you could purchase feed to feed the goats for a small fee. We enjoyed seeing the longhorn cattle on our way there and all the chickens walking around. We rode out to the pumpkin patch on a wagon pulled by a tractor. The pumpkin patch is really large and the ride was quite nice. We bought a small pumpkin that was reasonably priced at $4.00.

We have a horse here so I was lucky enough to visit and stay at this glorious farm for a night…read more It's mainly a breeding farm with 70+ broodmares. It is foaling season now so there are many darling babies, with their wobbly little legs, coming into this world nearly everyday until around late May or so. They are closely protected by their mamas and monitored by the farm staff around the clock. You can't deny that God exists when you are witness to such perfection; and to boot, one of these hopefuls could be future KY Derby, Breeders, OR Triple Crown winners. It's such an amazing experience, it's really hard to put into words. Many thanks to the Endeavor team for the KY hospitality!

The staff is very informative and friendly. They take their time providing detailed history of each horse you see. We were able to pet a couple and feed all of them. Remember, put the carrot on an open/flat palm. We met Silver Charm, the oldest Living Kentucky Derby winner. We met Preakness Stakes Winners, I'll Have Another and Big Brown. We also met Hall of Fame, Lava Man. Over $150 equine athletes in the facility. I will return someday soon to do the Founders Tour!! Thank you for a memorable day with one of my favorite animals that God created.

The tour check in is located in the mansion. The tour starts there as well with a bit of history of the distillery and property and a tasting of two different bourbons. It continues next store in the distillery with two more tastings along the way. We had an energetic and knowledgeable guide all to ourselves because we were there midday on a Thursday. She answered all of our questions and, due to her overall knowledge of Kentucky bourbon, helped to put perspective on their products. For the few offerings they have, they are quite diverse. But I want to return for when they have the pickled bourbon back in stock (crossing fingers it's over the holidays)!

Our host was outstanding, walking us through each pour with knowledge and precision while sharing the history of both the house and the distillery. After sampling several bourbons, we took some time to explore the house before heading over to the gift shop. My wife and her friend found more than a few must-haves, especially after enjoying a couple of drinks at the bar. All in all, Bluegrass Distillers is an excellent addition to Kentucky's bourbon scene and well worth the visit.

We took advantage of the water slide during that time with no line! Day passes were available and super reasonably priced. The snack bar had great prices and delicious food.
