Things To Do
Lexington Distillery District
https://www.lexingtondistillerydistrict.com/ This 25-acre property was home to the historic James E. Pepper Distillery. However, in 1958 the site was abandoned completely, untouched for nearly 50 years. Today, you’ll find two working bourbon distilleries on the historic site, which serves as an anchor for the up-and-coming neighborhood. Plus, the easily walkable area combined with its diverse food and drink offerings makes the Distillery District one of Lexington’s most exciting hotspots. Walking Distance From Wedding Venue James E.

Kentucky Bourbon Trail
https://kybourbontrail.com https://centralkentuckytours.com The world got its first taste of the profound history and proud tradition of “America’s Official Native Spirit” when the Kentucky Distillers’ Association (KDA) established the Kentucky Bourbon Trail® in 1999, a road trip-style experience for Bourbon lovers to visit the Bluegrass State’s signature distilleries. Bourbon lovers can stop at a few of the distilleries or all 42—there is no wrong way to experience it. Every journey is personalized and requires planning, as some of the distilleries are as far as 70 miles apart. There’s something for everyone—tours, tastings, activities, big-city nightlife, quaint country towns, Bourbon-themed hotels and historic bed & breakfast accommodations. Tours & Tastings book up to 3 months out so plan ahead!
