Things To Do
Keeneland Racetrack
A Kentucky Must-Do! Watch the horse races at this internationally renowned racecourse while enjoying a mint julep trackside. Tickets are pre-sale only and usually sold a few months from the meet- more information on Keeneland's Website.
Woodford Reserve Distillery
Located on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail in the heart of horse country, Woodford Reserve Distillery is a must-see for bourbon lovers and history buffs alike. Take a tour of the grounds or try a cocktail on their back patio - the views and the bourbon won't disappoint!
Castle & Key Distillery
A personal favorite - originally built in 1887, this distillery was left abandoned after it shut down due to prohibition. In 2014, two Lexington attorneys bought the site and began a painstaking restoration that resulted in this gorgeous property. With a European-inspired castle, sunken garden, botanical walking trail, natural springs, and fabulous cocktails, this place is Kentucky at its finest.
Lexington Distillery District
What was once the James E. Pepper Distillery is now an eclectic mix of businesses and attractions close to downtown Lexington. Home to one of our favorite local breweries. Check out The Burl (arcade bar/live music venue), Battle Axes (axe throwing), Barrel House Distillery, Crank and Boom (craft ice cream), Wise Bird (cider brewery), Fusion Brewing, Relic (eclectic antiques/vintage house wears), Brevede (coffee shop), and Goodfellas (Lexington's best pizza - NY style), all located in the Distillery District. Be sure to give this place a visit!
Ashland - The Henry Clay Estate
A must-see for any US History connoisseur. Home of the "Great Compromiser" Henry Clay, Ashland is equal parts history and beauty. Take a tour or walk the lush grounds, full of beautiful fall foliage!
