1. Maker's Mark

Watch a sour mash ferment in giant cypresswood vats on its way to becoming that heavenly Kentucky bourbon at this distillery.

This is a beautiful campus WAY out in nowhere Kentucky. You really get the historic, non-corporate vibe at this distillery (even though their production is quite corporate).
We’re from Wisconsin, so alcohol isn’t a taboo thing like other states. I brought my 10 year old girls along and they appreciated the process and science behind Maker’s Mark. I figure there are chemical engineers, microbiologists, artists, marketers, accountants, etc on staff. It’s good to show them all the different jobs out there.
I highly recommend the tour.

This is the place to start your Lincoln trail. The marriage certificate of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks is filed in the Washington County Court House in Springfield. Many people feel that Abraham Lincoln was actually born in Washington County. This is where it started!

Very glad we stopped here on our vacation. The tour/tastings were free. Our tour guide (Tom) was very entertaining, informative, and kind. He gave lots of history about the distillery and family, you would not receive at any other distillery in the area. Definitely worth the stop, and one of the better distilleries in the area in my opinion.

If you ever wanted to know how to take a flat pieces of oak bend it and piece it together into a water tight barrel, then you have to check out Kentucky Cooperage. The 45 minute tour is well worth the nominal charge, and if you want, you can buy a finished 53 gallon barrel on the spot. Wear sturdy shoes and be ready get a bit dusty and warm.

Gary, his wife Robbie and granddaughter Aubrey are fantastic tour guides - fun, funny, knowledgeable and nice. I was in Kentucky with a small group for a friend's 40th birthday. They took us to several distilleries - a really interesting and unexpected combination of places. It was a great day all around!

Not sure that it gets much better than this. We learned so much about Alpacas and their fiber. Judi and Ron shared their experiences and fiber in a way that made us sorry to leave. We even got to feed them!
They have a great display of uncarded fur and fiber that shows the differences between species. They have a gift shop where one can buy local crafts and their yarn. Lots of finished pieces to choose from as well.
My daughter found it thrilling to buy the yarn of an alpaca that we might have seen. Love patronizing small farmers who obviously take pride in what they do.
Great experience. Thank you Ron and Judi!

This was my second visit to this quaint family owned winery. The biggest reason for making this a must whenever I visit Kentucky is their fruit wines.
