The Bluegrass might be known for bourbon, and while there are distilleries all across the state, Kentucky is home to some standout wineries, too. In the heart of Horse Country, Talon Winery is a breathtakingly beautiful winery that’s a true hidden treasure. Open for events and tastings, there’s little more delightful than a spring day trip to this sublime winery in Kentucky.

From all appearances, this might look like a vineyard in Napa Valley, or perhaps even the Italian countryside.
