Lexington’s McConnell Springs will be hosting its 28th wine barrel tasting event for Lexington’s 250th year with 14 participating wineries. “At wineries that produce their wine on-site, you can have a tasting of their latest from the barrel. At wineries that produce off-site, you will be sampling from bottles. Each winery has its own way of being part of our event, so you will want to plan your route and try as many as you can,” read the McConnell Springs website. Ghost Fox Winery will be serving its wine here. Jessamine County’s 1922 House Vineyards and Winery and First Vineyard Winery will also serve at this event.
