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.
