My friends chose Saxony Farm as their wedding venue, and it was amazing! Nothing quite like a horse…read morefarm. 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!

We drove to Happy Jack's farm near Frankfort Kentucky. We absolutely loved this farm and pumpkin…read more patch. 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 1800s era mansion is absolutely gorgeous and they have done a wonderful job at restoring it and keeping it as it was nearly 200 years ago. Everyone is always so hospitable and friendly. They have some great bourbons as well. If you're there, look for Tipsy the tuxedo cat, she's probably snoozing somewhere.

I had an enjoyable visit at Bluegrass Distillers. I tried a flight of 4 bourbons, for $15. The…read morebottles range from $60 to $110 so I thought the price was reasonable for 4 1/2-ounce pours. It was actually more than I wanted (there would be more distilleries to visit that day) and I didn't even finish them. The choice of which 4 to sample was mine, assisted by the knowledgeable and patient bartender, and I chose two from their standard small-batch bourbon collection (Toasted Oak and High Rye Blue Corn) and two single-barrels from the reserves: French Oaked and Spanish Oaked. It's interesting what a difference there was between the French and Spanish oak flavors. I started at the bar where the bartender gave me a brief intro to the whiskies I'd be sampling, then moved to a comfortable seating area. I liked the room, with a mix of high tables with stools and upholstered sofa seating areas with throw rugs. Mellow jazz was playing and the walls were adorned with paintings, landscapes and citiscapes. A nice place to relax for a bit. I liked the Elkwood Reserve French Oaked very much and bought a bottle for $110. That's a lot, until you realize that at 121 proof that's equivalent to $72 at 80 proof. Funny math maybe, but that's how I justified the expense! When I got home and tried the bottle it was just as good as I remembered, so no regrets.
