The two-story ceiling features three hand-wrought crystal chandeliers. The Tobacco Barn captures the charm of Kentucky agrarian roots, yet is thoroughly modernized with electricity, water, and stained concrete flooring for executing seamless events. The handmade cedar patio looks over the most dramatic view at Farmer and Frenchman – the Vineyard Lawn and 70+ acres of rolling hills, thickets, and agricultural fields. Restrooms are located next to the barn and are connected by a covered boardwalk called the Promenade.

The Promenade
The Promenade is a covered boardwalk that connects the winery, bathrooms and barn. Handcrafted of cedar, and with artisanal lighting, the Promenade is a breezy place for up to 50 guests seated at tables.

The Vineyard Lawn
We designed our vineyard envisioning the romance of saying your vows among the vines. A wide, ample row allows for seated guests and an aisle for the wedding march. The 5 acres of Lawn space can be used for your event as additional seating for your guests, dancing, or activities for little ones and the young at heart.
