The Bluegrass is Bourbon Country, but that doesn't mean there aren't other spirited tricks up our state's sleeve. In Augusta, Kentucky, for example, you'll find the oldest commercial estate winery in the country. Baker-Bird Winery is acclaimed for its winery *and* bourbon distillery, and is, in our opinion, the perfect fall day trip in Kentucky.
Are you a bourbon enthusiast?
Or do you prefer a glass of vino?
Guess what? You don't have to choose -- at least not at Baker-Bird Winery.
The oldest and largest winery in the United States, Baker-Bird is known for its internationally-acclaimed wine *and* bourbon, as well as its historic wine tours.
One of just 22 wineries listed on the National Historic Registry in the U.S., Baker-Bird Winery's distillery site dates back all the way to 1797.
The oldest and largest wine cellar in the country, visitors can tour this marvelous, man-made oenophilic underworld that's 40 feet wide, 40 feet tall, and 90 feet deep.
After your tour, stay for a flight or a tasting -- of either wine or bourbon. Both libations (Baker-Bird Wines and B. Bird Bourbon) are critically acclaimed and award winning!
As for the grounds, well, you won't find a more beautiful winery in Kentucky. The distillery is set on 70 acres of beautiful Bluegrass countryside that's so picture-perfect, it's even caught the eye of filmmakers.
Historic and immensely beautiful, there's no place in the country quite like Baker-Bird Winery in Augusta, Kentucky. It's an internationally acclaimed destination that's yet another feather in our state's (very full) cap.
Have you visited this breathtakingly beautiful *and* world-famous winery in Kentucky before? Baker-Bird Winery truly is an impressive and inspiring day trip destination in Kentucky. And, if you can believe it, this winery is somehow more marvelous drenched in fall foliage. Cheers!
