The winery at Elk Creek Vineyards is a great place to come with family and friends to do a little “wine tasting“. It’s so much fun! You can stop-in for a wine tasting any time that we’re open. You know what I always say, the more the merrier - that goes for friends and wine!
Our wines at Elk Creek continue to win wine competitions around the country. Just recently we are happy to announce that eight of our wines placed at The Kentucky Derby Festival. This is just one of the many exciting events that takes place in Louisville, Kentucky in the weeks preceeding the historic running of the Kentucky Derby in May. I think everyone has heard of a little horse race called the Kentucky Derby, also known as the “Run for the Roses”? The Kentucky Derby Wine Festival takes place this year on Tuesday, April 29 and Wednesday, April 30, but the actual competition and judging of the wines took place just recently. Congratulations to Elk Creek Vineyards for winning eight awards!

If you’re going to be in the Louisville area partaking in all the Derby fun, you don’t want to miss stopping by the Derby Festival WineFest. Once there not only will you get to see the distinguished medals displayed on the Elk Creek Vinyeard wines that won, but more importantly you’ll be able to taste the winning wines as well.
