What do wineries and distilleries have in common?

Located near Lexington, Kentucky is the world’s only Bourbon Trail. Known as the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, the trail has eight distilleries on it. Visitors are welcome to visit any of the distilleries.

While wine enthusiasts will enjoy learning about the bourbon industry from a historical perspective to the technology used today, they should be sure to visit wineries intermixed with these distilleries. Wineries in this area of Kentucky are new compared to the long history of distilleries. These wineries are focused on using Kentucky fruit for their wines although when necessary some of them will source fruit from other states.

Compare and contrast the process of producing bourbon and wine. Bourbon tastings and wine tasting are very similar. Looking for the color, aroma, taste and finish are part of the tasting experience for both wine and bourbon.

Lexington, Kentucky is an ideal place to visit for both wine and bourbon enthusiasts.
