It’s always exciting when a historic building in Kentucky is repurposed and given a new life. Rather than see these interesting pieces of our history get torn down, we can all appreciate when a person is willing to work hard to keep it alive. Schoolyard Winery in Kentucky is such a place and it has been transformed from a schoolhouse to a lovely local winery. Sip wine and relax in this historic schoolhouse, while learning about its past and gaining a love and appreciation for its future.

Verona is a rural area of Northern Kentucky that's filled with those famous rolling hills our state is known for.

Of course there is also some history here and one interesting spot is the former High School on Walton Verona Road. The building was used as the local high school until the 1970s but it now has a totally different purpose.
The exterior of the building still appears as it did when it welcomed students to class each day.

But the owners have taken this school and turned it into a residence, as well as a winery that is a unique stop in the area.
The beautiful property surrounding the schoolhouse seems perfect as a vineyard and winery in Kentucky.

The owners have a love for wine and vineyards and decided, somewhat on a whim, to start one on their property. With their success, Kentucky now has a schoolhouse winery in the Bluegrass.
