Keeneland's fall meet will be running! The ponies run Wednesday through Sunday. Keeneland is 6 miles away from the hotel in downtown Lexington and is about a 15 minute drive.
Ouita Michel, the owner of Holly Hill Inn, also does the food at Woodford Reserve. It is also one of the closest and most beautiful distilleries in Kentucky. Woodford Reserve is 21 miles away from the hotel in downtown Lexington and is about a 30 minute drive.
In my opinion, the best bourbon tour in Kentucky. They are extremely knowledgable and show you a lot. Plus, as it is one of the oldest distilleries, it sits on a very large and beautiful campus in our state capital. If you're looking for a good bourbon tour, you will not be sorry. Buffalo Trace is 25 miles away from the hotel in downtown Lexington and is a 30-40 minute drive.
