The Central Kentucky WineFest will be held Friday June 13 on the grounds of Old Crow Inn Farm & Winery in Danville. The event will be a Kentucky Proud Affair featuring Kentucky Proud wines from fourteen (14) Kentucky wineries plus Kentucky Proud cheeses and produce from Kentucky farms. The proceeds from advance ticket sales and gate receipts will be shared by two local charities. The organizations that will benefit are the Danville-Boyle County Humane Society and the Brenda Cowan Coalition of Kentucky. The Brenda Cowan Coalition provides assistance to area families.
Visitors to the WineFest will have the opportunity to sample dozens of Kentucky Proud wines and to purchase those they prefer. They will also be able to sample and purchase Kentucky Proud cheeses and other Kentucky Proud products. They will receive a special commemorative Central Kentucky WineFest glass and brochure that provides details on each participating winery.
“Kentucky’s growing grape and wine industry provides jobs and income for many Kentuckians,” Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer said. “Our wines also are growing in quality and prestige. This event will bring many Kentucky Proud wines together in one place so consumers can try the best wines Kentucky has to offer.”
Old Crow Inn Farm and Winery, under the trade name ‘Chateau du Vieux Corbeau Winery’, is located at 471 Stanford Avenue in Danville. The event, which lasts from 4:30 PM until 8:30 PM, costs $20.00. Groups of 10 or more may purchase tickets at a reduced rate. For information or to purchase tickets, call 859-236-1808 or check with the Danville-Boyle Humane Society or the Brenda Cowan Coalition.
