Review:

The name says it all – First Vineyard marks the spot of the birthplace of commercial wine-making in the U.S. More than 200 years ago First Vineyard was established here in Jessamine County Kentucky. Of course, it has not all been plain sailing and the fledgling industry had to cope with many disasters along the way. Visitors are invited to visit the vineyard’s new Tasting Room to hear more about the history of First Vineyard and to take a tour of the vineyards and winery, followed by a tasting. The vineyard also keeps a research facility/library where oenologists can view hundreds of documents pertaining to the wine industry in the U.S.

First Vineyard, 5800 Sugar Creek Pike, Nicholasville, KY 40356, Phone: 859-885-9359
