The Winery – Good Wine, Good Time!

October 20th, 2008

If you haven’t had a chance to visit Elk Creek Vineyards now is the perfect time to go.   The autumn season with the leaves changing to colors of orange and yellow, the rolling green hills with vines as far as the eye can see and a touch of fall in the air is something that shouldn’t be missed.   The scenery alone is breathtaking!  Sitting on the covered deck of the winery in an oversized rocker with a glass of wine in your hand looking out over the vineyard is about as good as it gets! 

If you’re looking for a place to go for the day with a group of friends, family or co-workers, Elk Creek Winery is exactly what you need.  Stop in for lunch or a late afternoon snack at the Winery Cafe or come by on a Friday or Saturday evening and enjoy a glass of wine while listening to some of our local talented musicians.  Go on a winemaking tour or do some wine tasting with your friends and make a day of it.  When you’re done grab a seat by our three-story stone hearth with a fire blazing and enjoy true southern hospitality at its best. 

We Are Kentucky Proud!

October 10th, 2008

Kentucky Proud is the “buy local” initiative of the Kentucky Department of Agriculture.  Five years ago, Kentucky Proud had about three dozen members.  According to Kentucky’s Commissioner of Agriculture, today more than 1,300 farmers, processors, retailers, restaurants, farmers’ markets and Kentucky state parks are members of this wonderful program.  And I’m proud to say that Elk Creek Vineyard’s is one such member! 

Here is a list of our Kentucky Proud Wines:

  • 2006 Crazy Elk Blush

  • 2006 Vidal Blanc

  • 2006 Sweet Owen Red

  • 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon

  • 2005 Red Table Wine

  • 2006 Chardonnay

  • 2006 Riesling

Buying Kentucky Proud is easy, just look for the label.  Their secret ingredient is the hard work and dedication of Kentucky’s farm families.  Find out why “nothing else is close”!
