I’ve lived in Kentucky for about five years, and there are still times I feel like a tourist- running around exploring new places and revisiting some of my favorites. Central Kentucky is constantly growing and developing with new fun spots to visit popping up all around- it’s a great time to live and explore here. Some of my favorite places to visit are oldies but goodies, rich in Kentucky history.
Woodford Reserve is my absolute favorite place to bring family and friends from out of town. Located in Versailles, Woodford Reserve oozes Kentucky culture and history. This bourbon distillery is the oldest in Kentucky, but like a good wine (or bourbon?) seems to get better with age. Woodford’s history dates back to the late 1700s.
The distillery offers tours 7 days a week Monday through Saturday: 10AM-3PM EST and Sundays 1PM-3PM EST. The tours take you around the meticulously maintained property, fill you in on the history and end with a tasting. If you haven’t been, I strongly recommend taking the drive through the worlds most beautiful horse country.
