It truly takes you out of the hustle and bustle of a busy workweek. They have a very nice koi pong outside with a spot to sip wine near by. I side they have a beautiful bar area and many cozy spots for dipping wine and relaxing with a good read. The patio space is also very nice and it was a gorgeous day when we were out there. Now for the wines! I must say I liked every wine I tried. I especially enjoyed a states berry basil wine and a mango wine. They are absolutely perfect for summer and non of the wines are overly sweet which is appreciated. So much all you taste is what was added vs the wine. The owners are a husband and wife team and I couldn't love that more. They truly put their heart and soul into the wine, production, down to the selection of the grapes. The name is a nod to their time in Japan. As them about it! Can't wait to come back on a nice day for another glass. It's a little far out for me but worth the adventure!

They didn't have the Rosé bottled when we went so we'll have to go back. Ghost Fox had a tasty spicy cucumber wine as well. They host a monthly book event where you bring your own book and enjoy a silent reading hour every last Wednesday of the month. The property is gorgeous and sits at a high elevation so it's absolutely beautiful to look out. Definitely worth checking out!

Nestled away in the heart of Bluegrass horse country, this is a classic gem. Defined by elegant and…read morestylish classicalism, yet not overbearing, This place has an air of sophistication without pretension. The grounds are beautiful and expansive, stretched out under a big beautiful sky. Parking is ample. I attended with my wife and my son and his wife. We came to see a friend perform live jazz. We did a wine tasting. I was disappointed that the tasting only consisted of three offerings. It seemed a little shy for the price point. After the tasting, we settled on Afterglow, a very sweet wine. The four of us enjoyed our purchase while we sat at a picnic table in the courtyard and enjoyed the jazz. The wine prices themselves were very reasonable and the selection was robust. This proved to be a great place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. We will be back. This place gets five stars from me. (Still wish a tasting was four or five offerings instead of three.)

Had the pleasure of stopping by Talon Winery today during our trip through Kentucky and thought I'd…read moregive a quick recap for my fellow yelpers. The grounds are undeniably beautiful. The scenery, atmosphere, and overall property create a relaxing environment that feels very "Kentucky wine country." The staff was also incredibly friendly, welcoming, and wonderful with families and kids. The gift shop and tasting space itself functionally was not laid out in a way that made the experience especially easy or comfortable to enjoy. For those of you interested in tastings, there is nowhere comfortable to sit during the tasting process, unless you want to trade into plastic cups and head outside. This unintentionally created a rushed feeling, even though the staff themselves never pressured us. As for the wines, I tried the Cabernet Sauvignon, Equestrian Series, and Crimson Cabernet. I personally tend to lean towards drier, more robust wines, these felt fairly lackluster overall and lacked the depth and balance I personally look for in a wine that can either stand confidently on its own or pair beautifully with food. A few of the sweeter wines others in my group sampled came across far more grape-forward than expected and reminded me more of juice than a refined wine experience. (My overall impression was they paired more with $10 bottles than the prices that were asked) While the staff was clearly well-intentioned and friendly, the overall tasting experience lacked some of the seriousness, polish, and professionalism that you would expect from a true leader in the wine space. We had to request that glasses be emptied and cleaned between tastings, water was never offered between pours, and some of the finer details that elevate a winery experience simply felt overlooked. That said, this place has a lot of potential. Between the scenery, atmosphere, and welcoming team, I could absolutely see why Talon Winery would become a favorite spot for locals or visitors looking for a casual afternoon outing. However, for those looking for a polished, elevated "Napa-style" wine experience, this may not quite be the home run I had hoped it would be.

ABOUT 1 hr South of Frankfort, KY, we visited Danville, which is a cute Historic Town for Kentucky…read more Before we headed back to Frankfort, we did get a chance to stop in Copper & Oak for a snack & bourbon. Our Bartender was John, he was quiet at first but then opened up and got friendlier. The shelves had a lot of choices from which to choose, so I ordered a Basil Hayden bourbon. Snacked on French fries, which were crispy outside, fluffy soft inside. Delicious!! I THINK the Owner, maybe he was the head Chef.... Not sure. But, he came out with a new dish they were testing. It was flounder on a bed of a crispy potato patty, swimming in a Beurre blanc sauce and topped with some tomato jam. OMG.... it was delicious!! What a great combination. If added as a "Special" or a "regular" menu item, I would definitely order that !! Definitely a good stop, if you are visitng Danville, KY.

The hotel room had a different but extremely strong scent as well. The pool was massively over chlorinated and burned. The shower did not have a door and was open concept which was an odd choice. They also turned off our door keys before we checked out. Luckily one of us was in the room, if we had gone to breakfast we would have been locked out. The front desk just shrugged it off. Check out isn't until 11:00 and the keys were turned off around 7:30 am for some reason. Overall the hotel just feels dark and claustrophobic. The breakfast was severely lacking and there were flies hanging out in with the bread and bagels. Cleanliness is a huge issue here. Overall it was what we needed while we were here but we definitely won't be coming back unless things are fixed.
