Looking for the authentic Kentucky horse experience? Look no further. Keeneland Race Course will be live racing during the month of October, and we plan to be there one day during wedding week! We'd love if you joined us :)

Attire: business casual

Cost: $7 for GA (pre-purchase HIGHLY encouraged; tickets are on sale now on the Keeneland website)

Check out the lovely space where we got engaged! Talon Winery produces several great wines and is an awesome space to pack a picnic basket and spend a Sunday afternoon.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in town. If you're looking for a good heavy brunch spot or a nice dinner out, consider Carson's. We're obsessed with their crab truffle fries!

Note: a reservation highly recommended!

If you're looking for a scenic space to get a walk or run in while visiting, consider taking a trip to the Arboretum. It's one of the bride's favorite spots to walk the dogs.

This is another hiking option with longer trails than Berea. While the area is a bit more difficult to navigate, there are plenty of signs that will help you stay on track. You can look up some of the trails before visiting, but Natural Bridge is a great option and will boast an absolutely stunning view with the shades of orange & red among the trees in the area.

*Note: Not all trails are dog friendly. If traveling with pets, check before heading out!

Drive Time to/from Lexington: ~40mins

Great for a short & scenic hike option, the Pinnacles of Berea offer shorter trails that overlook miles of Kentucky landscape in the fall. Some trails and areas are more rugged than others, but everything is marked and the view from the top is always worth it!

Drive Time to/from Lexington: ~35mins

If you are around the area a couple extra days, consider checking out one of our favorite distilleries. Buffalo Trace is responsible for several bourbon connoisseur favorites, such as Blanton's, Eagle Rare, and Pappy Vanwinkle!

Disclaimer: you will not find a bottle of Pappy sitting on the shelf here, but it's still worth your while to go visit!

Reservation required: Tours are complimentary, include a tasting, and are available to book on the Buffalo Trace Website.

Drive-Time to/from Lexington: ~30mins

Looking for a casual space to enjoy great pizza and watch a few games throughout the weekend? We love hanging out at Mirror Twin! Appropriate for all family members -- even the furry & four legged ones!
