Visit and tour one of Lexington’s many renowned horse farms. From Claiborne Farms, which is one of the most iconic thoroughbred horse farms in the world, to Megson Farms, which specializes in the unique breeding of rare white and multi-colored thoroughbreds, each establishment offers something a little different. If tethering yourself to just one farm feels too limiting, local tour groups like Horse Farm Tours Inc. and Central Kentucky Tours can help you navigate the hundreds of horse farm tour options.

Besides horses, Kentucky is known for its bourbon, so this is the perfect time to try some of the best in the country. Lexington is home to award-winning and historic distilleries. Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co., James E. Pepper, and Barrel House Distilling Co. are all pretty close to Lexington’s city center and are easy to set up distillery tours with. If you’re looking for a bigger name establishment, Woodford Reserve and Wild Turkey Distillery are about a 30 minute drive outside of the city.

If bourbon isn't your thing and/or if you're looking to get a little boozy with your farm tour, Silver Springs Farm is a farm winery that sits on 20 acres of land smack dab in the middle of horse country. Originally operated from 1867 until Prohibition of 1918, the farm used to run as Silver Springs Distillery. Today, the property is named Silver Springs Farm Eqwine and Vineyard after its historic springs, the racehorses they breed, and the wine from the grapes they grow. Do a tasting and try some of their award-winning wines.
