Such a beautiful stop at Purple Toad Winery! We had the unexpected opportunity to visit Purple Toad Winery during our travels through Kentucky, and the property is absolutely charming! The grounds are beautiful, quaint, and well-maintained, creating a relaxing atmosphere that's perfect for spending an afternoon with friends and family. The staff was very welcoming, and there were plenty of unique wine varieties to sample. And for FREE! Each person gets up 8 free tastings + 5 free whiskey, tasting If you're looking for a picturesque stop with a fun and laid-back Kentucky winery experience, it's definitely worth a visit. The setting is a 5-star experience--the wine itself was more hit-or-miss for us and didn't quite live up to the beauty of the property (whiskey was better! ) but still recommend visiting for the atmosphere alone. They also had free NA beverages for the kids, which is nice! read more

We were spending a short weekend at Kentucky Dam Village State Park and decided to visit the purple toad winery. It was well worth a trip as we sampled. Several of their wines in the staff was very accommodating. We decided to order a bottle of Prosecco sat out on the porch And enjoy this nice weather. Great people and well worth a stop if you're in the area of Paducah, Kentucky. read more

My friend and I stopped in to check out the sweet wines and whiskey. The wine and service were good as well as the ambiance of the place. I bought a bottle of their Blackberry Whiskey to bring home with me because I thought my husband would like it. When we got back home we wanted to try the whiskey - it looked good and had a nice aroma but it TASTED TERRIBLE. I also let my brother try it and he said the same thing. Neither one of us could take more than a couple of sips before pouring it down the drain. Not sure what we are going to do with the rest of the bottle . read more

Our family enjoyed an afternoon of wine tasting at this quaint vineyard tucked away in the hills of western Kentucky. We were given a generous offering of eight samples each. Our favorite was the Black and Bruised, which also happened to be their most popular choice. Out of the ones I selected, I favored the Allen's Blueberry, Killers Bs, and the Sweet Carolwine. After we picked a selection of bottles to go, we sat under their Sycamore trees to enjoy a couple glasses. I highly recommend this winery to anyone looking for a nice, relaxing afternoon or evening. read more

Stopped at Purple Toad driving from Kentucky to Illinois. What an awesome experience. My wife and I visit as many different wineries as we can and Purple Toad is definitely one of the best. Went in and said we'd like to do a wine tasting. We found out the tastings were free. 6 tastings, definitely did not skimp on the pour was such a great deal. Our server, Kaley H, was awesome. Friendly, knowledgeable, informative, great personality, just added to our marvelous experience. After our wine tasting we each had a glass of wine and relaxed. We ended up purchasing 3 bottles of wine...Caramel Apple and Chocolate Strawberry. The bottles were on average $2 less than other wineries we have visited. Great wine, served by Kaley in a beautiful setting. Can't ask for anything more. read more

We were on vacation staying at Shawnee Forest Preserve in Southern IL and were looking for things to do since it turned out to be a rainy day. I found Purple Toad on Google and we made the hour drive. This place is super cute. We walked in and were automatically greeted. We were invited to try their wine tasting in which they offered a variety of wines, spirits, mulled wine, and even wine slushies. Our bartender Lila (apologies if spelled incorrectly) was an absolute angel on earth! She was so knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. Her hospitality is unmatched. We didn't want to leave. Not only because of the tasty wine, but because of how warm and welcomed we felt. Please please please support this business if you are in the area! read more

Visited there Thursday. Been a 3 year wait to finally get there. The staff was great, wine was great,. pretty grounds and learned a lot on the tour. Thanks to Beth for being so kind and helpful.

Headline: Free tasting of up to 8 wines and most of them are fruit wines! Many blends of those fruits. Think Moira Rose. The black & bruised was my favorite. We purchased a bag of mini bottles to take home and 3 of the 4 of us got glasses at $4/each to enjoy over at a cat adoption event the winery was hosting for the McGangsters, a local TNR organization. read more

Super super weird experience. The environment (meaning decor and layout) is strange and the girl that rang up my bottle was equally as strange. Felt very cult-y. Like people didn't understand how to act socially appropriate. My partner and I joked it felt like a cult in there. Don't get the hype. read more

If you like sweet wine, this is the place for you. Currently, they check you in and you wait in a socially distanced space until they are ready for your group. Once it's your turn, you head to a tasting booth. You get 8 wines for free. And if you can, peruse the menu beforehand because holy cow, there are A LOT of wines to choose from. Once we got to our tasting booth, they had little cups to guarantee you got your 8 samples - which I thought was smart. We started working our way through our lists but our tasting person kept disappearing so others would have to fill in quickly to keep our tasting moving. All of us ended up making a purchase but it was a bit weird that she just kept disappearing. My favorites were the mango breeze and the strawberry lemonade. I do feel like I would have enjoyed the visit more if the wine list wasn't so extensive. There was just too much to choose from in my opinion. read more

Upon entering there is signage to wear masks and give their names to a hostess. Guests are asked to wait the room until their turn for tasting. Paper menus and pens are available for guests as they wait. After going to the tasting room guests are directed to a booth. Booths are separated by barrels and well labeled. There is plexiglass separating the staff. Guests get 8 tastings and samples are poured in plastic cups. If guests want to enjoy a bottle there was outdoor seating available. There are a lot of wines to try, especially if you like sweet wine (page and a half). Not going to lie, it was a lot of wine to choose from. There are some unique flavors (Cotton Candy) and fruit flavors. Everyone in my group really liked the Strawberry Leomonde. The dessert wine was also good (one tastes like a Tootsie Roll). If you like sweet wine this is definitely a good place to try. read more

Loved the hostess, subway lady, and enjoyed the wine. Would recommend to anyone traveling through paducah.

We stopped here on our road trip to Savannah. We didn't know what to expect - had just seen the billboard on the highway and decided to stop. What a great surprise to find so many delicious wines! We bought some cheese and crackers. Took our wine slushies outside and enjoyed the beautiful day. They also have a gift shop with super reasonable prices. The staff was extremely friendly. Highly recommend Purple Toad Winery!!! read more

Great variety of fruity wines! Highly recommend you stop in for a tasting (8 wines). We are taking home four flavors. Prompt, courteous and professional service. read more

Beautiful property. Looks like an awesome array of sweet wines. Nice set up with cute brand items for sale. Drove 15 minutes off highway on 7.5 hr drive way home with my 24 year old and 11 year old. Excited to take a nice pit stop after a horrific week. The girl working "Victoria" killed all of the above positive remarks with her nasty, negative, unfriendly, rude attitude and demeanor. Multiple things happened to make us feel unwelcome and unwanted from minute we encountered her. It was not busy. Even guests were sweet. The worker was anxious, uninviting, and ignorant to point after several things happened we left with no tasting and no purchase. Wasted minimal relax time we had. I Will not spend my money in a place that doesn't appreciate or respect their customers. Please consider getting different staff. She clearly doesn't enjoy her job. read more

Free wine tasting and tour! Felt a tad rushed during the tasting but it was still a great time. 8 samples of a really great menu of wines. They rank their wines on a 0-10 scale of dry to sweet which is super helpful. Really nice grounds and super cool to see the wine making and bottling process! read more

We are on a girls trip heading to Nashville from Chicago on 57 south. We randomly saw a sign along the road for this winery and decided to take a detour and give it a shot. What a great decision!! The staff were friendly, wine was delicious and we were allowed however many tastings we wanted....for free! They had so many options, and a lot of sweet wine choices which I love. Lots of blackberry flavors. Outdoors and inside was plenty of seating, corn hole and nice views of the growing grapes or a lake. Lots of cute frog decor. They also had unique and cute wine accessories, home and artsy items. Inwas blown away by the option to buy smaller plastic bottles of the best selling wine choices. Maybe about a half bottle of wine size. Great gift idea!! This was a great stop on our road trip, highly recommend! read more

Stopped by on a road trip. Met the owner June and her brother jerald. They were gracious hosts. We had a great time at the winery loved their wine so much we ordered a case and a half! Since we're on the road we had to have it shipped, thank goodness they had free shipping! And a military discount! I highly recommend this place. The wine was amazing my personal favorite was the June's red apple and my moms favorite was both the sangrias and the strawberry banana! Lots of different choices! Perfect place to stop and visit if you love wine and frogs! read more

I've been purchasing Purple Toad from the grocery and decided it was time I finally stop by the winery. When we walked it there was a large crowd doing tasting, and nobody acknowledged us. A customer told us that there was another tasting area in the back. We went over there and were able to do a tasting. Tastings are free which was a benefit. If you like really sweet wines, then you'll love the choices. If you prefer dry wines, this probably wouldn't be the best winery for you. Overall, I enjoyed the tastings and was able to purchase some wines I hadn't tried before! I thought the customer service was lacking and could've been much better. read more

The BEST winery we have been to. We traveled to the area to celebrate our wedding anniversary solely because of Purple Toad Winery (our favorite wine). They did not disappoint. Chris was wonderful with the tasting (they offer 43 different wines). We are so happy we chose to celebrate here. Thank you Purple Toad. We WILL return! read more

Our trip to the Purple Toad Winery was so amazing!!! First off... the tour and tasting was FREE!! Our tour guide was so cute and fun and knowledgeable after just one year of working here. But our wine-tasting concierge, Jean, was the absolute best!! She was so sweet and personable! She kindly served us every sample (about 40) that we asked for and was constantly asking us which one we wanted to try next! Exceptional service and amazing wine! The flavors were incredible and unique and we are so glad we stopped by! A definite must try when in Paducah! read more

I was at my cousins house in May and was visiting. She brought out a wine to go with our dinner. Shes said it was her favorite. It was Killer B's. I tried it and thought it was perfect. Im confident their other wines will offer great tastes as well. I ordered her some for her birthday and she was delighted. Check them out in Paducah or order online. Joni Granrud read more

We enjoy the wines here. The Paducah White is a really light flavor that is not too sweet and not too dry. The Sangria is a little sweeter, but not as sweet as many of their wines. We have tried some of their sweet wines in the past and many are deceiving. The little taste you get at winery does not really give you an indication of how sweet a regular glass will be. There are only 2 real downfalls to me. The first is they only stay open until 630p during the week. We are from out of town and would love to have enjoyed the slushies with family from there, but they all work and can't get there in time. The second is while they did offer candy and crackers there is no real food. I would love to see a salad and sandwich lunch and dinner. Many wineries offer a cheese and fruit tray. That would be nice. All in all it is a good place with really good wine. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here on June 20, 2015 after a nice visit to downtown Paducah. We enjoyed a free tasting of several of their wines and my boyfriend liked their assortment of snacks. The owner took us and another couple on a tour to where the magic happens. He was such a nice and knowledgeable man- he knows his business and how to be successful! We purchased 6 bottles before leaving and agreed that we would return for more. We went w/ Allen's Blueberry, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Black Shadow, Black Peach, and Cabernet Franc. If you find yourself in Paducah and want to try some tasty wines- it's worth the stop! read more

Absolutely loved visiting Purple Toad Winery over the weekend. It was a last minute decision when it should have been the main thing we did. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Really felt like they were welcoming you into their home. The wines were all very good and we walked out with a bottle of black peach, sangria, June's Apple, and black and bruised. My wife also bought a very cool stemless wine glass. This is a must if you're in Paducah KY! read more

This is by far the best winery I have ever been to. The owner and staff are super friendly & family oriented. They have over 40, that's right I said 40, wines to sample. They left you sample them all for free. While we were there they had 3 wine slushees for adults and 1 for the kiddos. All of them were amazing. They have recently upgraded their space and we were fortunate enough to have a personal tour of the old & new spaces given by the owner, Allen. I like dryer wines while my husband prefers sweeter. Not only did we find wines that each of us like, but we also found ones that we both liked. We discovered filling up a case here is not hard to do. However, limiting yourself to only one case because you have limited room in you're rental car is a problem. Good thing you can order online and have it shipped to your home, also shipping is free after you spend $50! read more

So I am writing this review based off of online experience only. A friend of mine recently put me on to Purple Toad Cotton Candy wine and I thought it was absolutely delicious. At local stores to us, we have tried other flavors and have really enjoyed the options this winery has put out. Since the virus and the shut down of a lot of places in our city, we have not ventured out to many places. So it was a little disappointing that we were not able to get out and restock as we quickly became shut ins and our alcohol consumption began to increase. But as fate would have it the same friend tagged me in a recent facebook post regarding online purchases and shipping. They are currently offering free shipment on purchases over $40 and a 5% discount when you buy six bottles or more. Free shipping, discount, and I can continue to stay at home?!?! Well sign me up! We picked out 7.....that's right.....7 different flavors and purchased them. And lets give them a round of applause BECAUSE my case got here literally the next day!! What!?!?! You read that right! Purchased on Tuesday morning and dropped on my doorstep Wednesday afternoon in enough time for me to break open a bottle for after work wine time! Woo you guys are some of my quarantine heroes! But let me also touch on the different flavors. My top favorite has been chocolate strawberry, and I sadly finished that one sooner then I would have liked. I have also really enjoyed Honey Mist, blue cranberry, and looking forward to my other options. I definitely recommend their online purchasing/shipping and can't wait to order my next case! read more

This place not only has Great wine but the atmosphere and the energy of the ladies there makes it sooo much Fun! So many snacks, sodas, beer, gifts for souvenirs! Oh my I will definitely return when I come back home to Kentucky!!! read more

We have been enjoying Purple Toad Wines for a few years now, gifts from my son and daughter in law who know live in Paducah. This year we went to visit our new grandson and made a trip to the winery. I was amazed at how beautiful it was. It was nice to sit and relax with a glass of wine. It was hard to decide on which to get because they were all so good. Needless to say, this will always be a special stop for us from now on. Until then, I will continue to enjoy Purple Toad wine from our local liquor store right here in Chillicothe, IL Terrie Phillippe read more

I have never bought a case of wine....until now! All of the fruit wine is seriously the best ever. If you like sweet wine, you will absolutely love their wine. It is a family operation and the owners are very nice. Free tastings are offered and were flowing. My favorite is the black and bruised, made from blueberries and blackberries. My hubby's favorite was the blueberry. There are free snacks: popcorn, peanuts, pretzels, chex mix. I am added this place to my list of must stops when I am in the area once a year! read more

The wine tasted fine when I sampled, but the server gave me a sample of the wrong wine, because when I bought the one I thought I tasted, it wasn't it! I'm furious with my purchase since I had visited while traveling by. I'm upset with the carelessness of the server to give me the wrong sample so that I purchased two bottles of a wine that I did not know I was buying. I would go back for an exchange if possible, but obviously I'm already out of state and the travel back is not worth it. read more

Love this place, definitely worth a visit! We visited yesterday for the third time in the past 2 or 3 years. Their wine is consistently good, which is why we felt safe giving bottles of their "Black Shadow" for Christmas last year. They also have lots of neat wine-themed gifts, plus very nice indoor and outdoor spaces where you can relax and enjoy a glass of wine. Yesterday we sat out on the patio and enjoyed their frozen sangria - what a treat! read more
