Northern Kentucky Wine Festival

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I was sitting at the Cock & Bull in Covington last week when I saw the signs for the 2010 Northern Kentucky Wine Festival. Since it has moved to Mainstrasse, it’s been held in October on weekends when I am out of town. So I can’t go, but I hope you can!

This is the 5th annual event and it’s this Saturday, October 16, from 3-10 pm. Admission is only $10, which includes a souvenir wine glass and 4 tastings. Tickets for additional tastings and glasses of wine will also be available at $1 ea or 6 for $5 for additional tastings / $5 for a glass of wine.

This year, twelve wineries are confirmed, making the Northern KY Wine Festival the largest in the Commonwealth! Participating Wineries include the following:

Lover’s Leap – Lawrenceburg, KY
Acres of Land – Richmond, KY
Stonebrook Winery – Camp Springs, KY
Wight-Meyer – Shepherdsville, KY
Black Barn Winery – Lexington, KY
Elk Creek – Owenton, KY
Baker-Bird Winery – Augusta, KY
Atwood Hill – Morningview, KY
Iron Pig – Union KY
Horseshoe Bend – Willisburg, KY
RiverBend Winery – Louisville, KY
Seven Wells Winery – California, KY

In addition to the wine, there are always local artisans with booths. I used to always come home with at least one new piece of unique jewelry.

Take advantage of the autumn weather this weekend and head to Covington!

I was there working with one of the wineries and had a blast. The venue was well kept, and the event was well organized. Would recommend to Kentucky wineries looking for solid exposure.
