The 2022 Kentucky Wine & Vine Fest Weekend is a celebration of Kentucky’s thriving wine industry. It’s held in historic Jessamine County, Kentucky, the site of North America’s first commerical winery founded by John James Dufour in 1799 — just a few minutes south of Lexington. The venue is non smoking and only service animals allowed. We’ll see you at the festival! If you can’t find something on the website or have a question, please visit our Contact page.
It’s the Taste of Jessamine hosted by First Southern National Bank. Now in its 24th year of helping local non-profits by gathering local “chefs” to showcase their delectable food. Taste appetizers, entrees and desserts and cast your vote for the best in each category. Bid on the silent auction.
