To which I responded "Well, there HAS to be! And we're going!" A quick google search revealed Chateau Du Vieux Corbeau. It is just up the street from the Pioneer Playhouse and right next to a charming looking Inn. We got there around 5pm, and they are open until 6pm most days. There was only one woman working, and she was finishing up with a group already there, ringing up their purchases and chit chatting. A tasting, including all of the available wines costs only $2, and bottles are very reasonably priced. All of their wine is aged in stainless steel, as the winemaker has an oak allergy. It's an interesting thing to do. I personally love oakiness in my dry wines, so I kind of missed the flavor, but if you don't like it they have wines for you! And many of the wines don't have any added sugar. They weren't my most favorite wines, but I found several that I enjoyed! The woman running the tasting was wonderful! Friendly and very knowledgeable about the wine as well as the surrounding area, giving tips on things to do in Danville. If you are only intending on doing a tasting, bring cash since it is only $2 per person. But credit cards are accepted and a bottle is around $10. We left with 3 bottles between us! Should you want to have some wine while in Danville, I would certainly recommend paying Chateau du Vieux Corbeau!

And let me just say, the frozen wine margaritas are a delicious treat on a summer day -- so refreshing and fun.

Everyone who works there is the sweetest, very knowledgeable, everyone is on one accord. They have different events, from murder mysteries to live music. Murder mysteries are 4-5 course meal that you can pair wine to, the other food within the pictures is from that event. It's so delicious perfectly paired and made. Pizza and cheese bread is delicious! We have also had the charcuterie boards. Love the chutney they use. The wine is great you can do wine tasting a tour, lots of beautiful outdoors views. Since coming for a year, they continue to expand this place and make it better and better!

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!

Bar far some of the best wine I've ever had. My wife and I love door county winery in Wisconsin and really enjoy the sweeter fruit wines. However the wines here are so much better than those offered at door county. To start the Kentucky diamond is sweet yet light and refreshing. The red dog is amazing if you like red wine and want something a little different. It's slightly sweet yet has an oak finish almost resembles a tawny or a Porto but with a much lighter finish and not nearly as rich and sweet. The blackberry wine was phenomenal it's not to strong and doesn't taste to much like alcohol it has just the right amount of blackberry and is a much smoother finish than the door country blackberry wine. The cherry cordial is also quite phenomenal it has just the right amount of cherry with a brilliant chocolate finish yet it's not to sweet. I didn't find any wine here I didn't enjoy. It's a shame that the wine they make can only be bought here locally at the winery. Well worth the trip from Wisconsin to Kentucky just to buy a few bottles of this wine. By far one of my favorite wineries that seems to be hidden in the middle of the mountains. Even the history of this winery is quite interesting with ties back to Thomas Jefferson and Daniel Boone can't say enough great things about this winery or the people who own it. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

We met the owner who is pretty damn cool, retired school teacher who opened a winery. We each tried 5 tastings, each one had a story, a pairing to try and in most cases how to turn it into a sangria. The cheese spreads were incredible and so was the jelly made from the wine. The barn was decorated nicely and seemed to have comfortable couches. We ended up purchasing 3 bottles of wine, feta dill cheese spread (2) and a strawberry wine jelly. The winery was unique and definitely worth a stop.

After spending the day visiting distilleries, I was ready for something a little different, so my husband suggested we stop by McIntyre & Family Winery. I'm so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. Nikki greeted us, took the time to explain their wines and tasting options, and made us feel right at home. A little while later, the owner, who is also named Nikki, came over to introduce herself. Both of these ladies were incredibly kind, down-to-earth, and passionate about what they do. What was supposed to be a quick stop turned into two wonderful hours of conversation, laughter, and wine tasting. I've visited quite a few wineries over the years, but this one truly stood out. I loved how unique and creative the wines were. They weren't afraid to offer something different, with wines like Corn Cob, Daylily, and Rose Petal Tea. I know some of those might sound unusual, but they're absolutely worth trying with an open mind. My personal favorite was the Blackberry Truffle--it was unlike anything I've ever tasted and, without question, the bottle I couldn't leave without. One thing I also appreciated was that they had beer available for anyone in the group who isn't a wine drinker, making it a place everyone can enjoy. More than anything, what made this visit so memorable wasn't just the wine--it was the people. You can tell there's a lot of heart behind this winery, and that kind of hospitality is something you don't forget. If you ever find yourself in Bardstown, I can't recommend McIntyre & Family Winery enough. It ended up being one of the highlights of our trip, and I already know we'll be back.

My husband and I love stopping in here when we are near Bardstown because it is so different from your typical winery. All of their wines are made from the berries, fruit, etc that they are named after and not with grapes, so it is always fun to try the different wines they offer. We brought our friends with us this time since we were all on our way to Heaven Hill for a distillery tour together. They had a fun time for their first visit and we both ended up purchasing a bottle of their corn cob wine (we also got a semi-sweet cranberry wine). Shannon (or maybe her name was Sharon) was so friendly and kept us laughing with jokes during our tasting. She gave us some tips on what wines paired well together or with a cocktail. She also told us how long some of the wines take to make, where they source some of their berries, etc. Can't wait until our next visit!
