Hailing from downtown Louisville, Trimble County, Kentucky and Starlight, Indiana, all three wineries are within driving distance and are favorites among local residents. Old 502 Winery is the state’s only urban winery using locally grown grapes; Little Kentucky River Winery offers a peaceful setting with a true country vineyard situated along the Kentucky River; and Huber’s Orchard and Winery is Indiana’s largest estate-bottled winery with more than 65-acres of award-winning vines. Each winery offers tasting at an on-site venue.
