I always enjoy coming here and bringing my friends and family... But, recently we had reservations for our 30th wedding anniversary for the Murder Mystery Dinner, which was on the same night as our anniversary... this event was cancelled the night before the dinner... I am still waiting for a full refund for this event...

Very pretty drive! The winery itself is charming and we found the wines tasty. The only complaint (a very mild one at that!) was the service. Our guy was also waiting on a group that was having a wedding there in the spring. We felt like we were a bit of a bother to him. Maybe they should consider a few more hands on deck for a busy Saturday.

Equus Run features beautiful grounds, a charming little tasting room, and friendly staff. Some of their wines fell a little outside what my wife and I would consider accurate representations of their varietals, but they had 2 or 3 wines that I would consider purchasing. They had a nice vintner's reserve Zin we both enjoyed.

The staff may have a bit to learn about wine yet, as we did overhear one employee give some incorrect information to a novice taster next to us, but we didn't butt in or correct them since it seemed like they were still learning themselves (aren't we all?).

Overall, a tasting at Equus Run is a pleasant experience - much as one might expect from a small winery in a rural area, the staff was friendly and accommodating and they did have several wines that were quite nice. We bought a bottle of their Cab blush and enjoyed it outside on a warm day along with some really killer wine-infused cheese spread that may or may not be made onsite. I think we would go back if we're in this area again.

About Winery and Wines

It all started with a passion for something traditional in a non-traditional place - grape growing in horse country! How could the two co-exist? Quite nicely! An inspired vision to work the rich fertile soil of the Kentucky Bluegrass in a county steeped with tradition, a tobacco and cattle farm gave way to what is now Equus Run Vineyards. The vision became reality in January 1998 with the combined efforts of friends and family.

Equus Run Vineyards is nestled on 35 acres in the heart of central Kentucky's Bluegrass Region and was voted by CNN Travel as a Must See Hidden Treasure of the US. Amidst picturesque thoroughbred horse farms, historic stone fences and the quaint charm of Midway, KY, Equus Run is the perfect place to enjoy a picnic, take in a game of croquet or bocce, enjoy the golf putting green, stroll through our promenade gardens or explore the scenic South Elkhorn Creek with fishing or kayaking.
