  • Bourbon in the making
    Tour a Bluegrass bourbon distillery to learn the art of producing and the history behind this true Kentucky tradition. Three Bluegrass distilleries (with three distinct personalities) provide tours:
  • Chocolate & bourbon - a winning combination
    Take a tour to see how bourbon chocolates are made. You'll want to take home an ample supply! 
  • Driving tours
    The serenity and beauty of horse farm country in the Bluegrass cannot be matched anywhere in the world. Contact the Convention and Visitors Bureau, 301 East Vine Street.(859-233-7299 or 800-845-3959) to get a copy of the Lexington Walk and Bluegrass Country Driving Tour.
  • Rock fences
    An unusual feature distinct to the Bluegrass, rock fences dating back to the mid 1800's line many rural roads. Built by Irish stonemasons and freed slaves, these beautiful rock fences were built with abundant native limestone using no mortar.
