    The patio set up.  Nice!

    Music Sunday afternoon! Puppies getting groomed in Versailles and my chick and I sipping some great wine and atmosphere here at Wildside! The service has always been top shelf and the wine selection is really nice and varied! We enjoy the vibe here summer and winter too. Always comfortable here! Looking for an afternoon to chill and enjoy some laid back music and terrific wine, come on over to the Wildside. You'll love it like we do.

    Wildside Winery was a fun stop along the Kentucky wine scene. They have quite a fee wines that have been aged in whiskey barrels to amplify the taste. They offer flights of (4) for $8 or (8) for $16. Our group opted to do two (4) wine tastings. The fan favorite was the BBR wine which also had a sweet wine version to taste. The wines were good hut we did not purchase any bottles to take home. The staff member was extremely kind and gave us (1) additional tasting complimentary.

    We've come here a few times over the years. Their wines tend to be on the sweeter side (but they do have a few dry's). We really, really enjoy their wines. They have some unique ones like Paw-Paw and Walnut that are very good. They were busy when we were their but the staff did a great job trying to keep up. The winery is also beautiful- they have a cozy conversation nook and an expansive back room. This is a must stop if you find yourself in the Lexington area.

    Came to the winery during their Christmas Market fest, had about 10 different vendors. They have various wines to choose from, likely you'll find something you like. The place was packed, but still managed to get our drinks pretty quickly and grabbed a table inside. They had a lot of tables outside, but it was too cold. Half the vendors were inside and the live music was also inside, not a lot of attraction to stay outside. Looks like a cute place to visit in the summer.

    I hadn't been here in a decade so needless to say I was happy to finally return and find an even larger selection of wine plus a few food options. The charcuterie platter is a perfect combo with a flight of 8 wines. There were so many wine options I wasn't sure where to start. Luckily there is a nice selection of both dry and sweet. The exotic sweet wines were quite interesting and I really liked the "paw paw" fruit wine as a nice Appalachian rarity. The best dry wines in my opinion were the bourbon barrel reserves which were Cabernet aged in bourbon barrels. There is even a double oaked cab! If you like cats, there is a beautiful friendly cat named Frankie to greet you too. This is a great stop if you're in the Versailles area.

    This is a definite must do when driving through central Kentucky ....enjoy a beautiful horse country scenic drive getting to the winery then settle in for a wide variety of wine tastings. You can now order a charcuterie board to enjoy filled with high end cheeses. Ease of access, parking is easy and you have your choice of inside or outside seating

    A glass of Fearless!

    Wildside is one of my absolute favorite wineries! Not only is it easy to find, it has such a great atmosphere! One of my favorite things to do is to get a flight of 8 samples and split a charcuterie board with friends. I'm a sweet wine fan and Wildside has one of the best varieties of sweet wine in the area! Fearless is a must-try! Definitely follow their Facebook page because they do tons of events like live music and charcuterie/cookie decorating workshops. This is a fun place for a day date or girls day!

    We were on our way to check into our hotel for a weekend wedding. When we were traveling my wife said what about this winery. I said sure, I read good reviews about it and I'm up for attending. We arrive and are greeted to sit where we would like. We have an opportunity to choose the wines that we want to sample. Everything was unique, good and refreshing. This was a unique stop, they have unique wines. For example I purchased a bottle of walnut wine. It was incredibly good. We had a glass of wine here as we enjoyed this place. They have a cat named Frank, and a dog which I do not recall his/her name. But both were very friendly furry animals. The winery is small inside, but they have much to offer. Recommend visiting this place again. The woman that greeted us (I think Mary) she was amazing and provided us with recommendations on areas to visit locally for distilleries. This was a great find.

    Visited Wildside for the first time to watch a local band and try some wines. They have a great selection to choose from and the wine flight prices seemed too good to be true. During our tasting a worker came over with additional bottles of wine and made a few mixes for us to try as well. I'd like to go back and give them a try when it's warm as well so we can experience the nice little patio they have. The only downside was we had a few hiccups with service, one of our flight glasses was completely empty and another was totally wrong. They did fix the issue quickly and without hesitation.

    We stopped in for a wine tasting on a busy Saturday afternoon. We paid $6 for four tastings. We loved the presentation. The cards behind the tasting glass made it easy to remember our favorites and to make our purchases. We tend to lean more to the sweet side and we found plenty of wines here that we enjoyed.

    The wine was delicious, the charcuterie board was delectable - especially paired with the wines. Wherever the ingredients come from for the charcuterie boards -- CHEF'S KISS :) We ended up buying an entire bottle of "fearless". The atmosphere was amazing. I will rave about this place for months I'm sure!

    Beautiful grounds, dog friendly, okay wine and terrific people. I was a bit leary in that they weren't very strict with cleanliness with these crazy times and Covid. I admit I am very paranoid. Other people there were just fine with the way things were. Menu was laminated and obviously not clean. Pens for marking said menus were also not clean. Social distancing was not enforced. If that doesn't bother you then give it a try if you happen to be in the neighborhood and be sure and give Frank the cat a pet or two!

    We stopped today for wine tasting & ran into a couple other yelper from Lexington. It's been years since we stopped & place has changed tremendously. They had a wedding going on so we didn't get see al of it. Everyone was friendly & helpful.

    Nice place to hang out, not a wine person. But would return for the social atmosphere. Service was great! Wine selection was great!

    The paw paw wine did not age well in wine storage; the wine fermented more and took on an edge. The cherry and blackberry wine aged well.
