The 2025 Kentucky Wine and Vine Fest Weekend is a celebration of Kentucky's thriving wine industry. It's held in historic Jessamine County, Kentucky, the site of North America's first commerical winery founded by John James Dufour in 1799 - just a few minutes south of Lexington. The venue is non smoking and only service animals allowed. We'll see you at the festival!
