If you are travelling on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail looking for the Highest rated Winery on the Kentucky Bourbon Tail, Lovers Leap Vineyards and Winery is the best Kentucky winery on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Highest rated Kentucky Winery is Lovers Leap Winery.
The Vineyards
Lovers Leap Vineyards and Winery is a family owned, fully operational, 60 acre farm containing 30 acres of vineyards. Owned by the Sivinski family, and located in the heart of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, the Vineyard sits atop a limestone base providing vital minerals and nutrients to the soil which are similar to those found in the Bordeaux region of France, where some of the world's finest wines are made. There are four red varietals and four whites, all of which give us the ability to create interesting combinations or "blends" that effectively express the terroir and climate of Central Kentucky as well as our winemaking style. A good portion of the vines were planted in 1994 and are in the prime of life therefore, producing fruit with robust and concentrated character. This premium quality fruit coming from the vineyard is a winemaker's dream, as there is a level of excellence already established at each harvest. The vineyard is painstakingly nurtured and maintained by hand all season long to ensure the vitality of the vines.
Our Wines
Lovers Leap Vineyards & Winery prides itself on producing some of the highest quality wine in the state of Kentucky. The goal of the winemakers is to achieve balance with each wine they create. So from our driest wine to our sweetest, each is meticulously guided and handled in order to allow for the natural smooth textures and fruit and oak expression to tantalize your taste buds and hopefully keep you coming back for more.

Dry conditions and hot temperatures for the 2019 season developed our fruit a little early this season. This photo shows our 2019 Cynthiana in August; not quite ripe when this photo was taken!
Our Wine Making Style
Our beautiful vineyards inspire our wine making style. And our wine making team is immersed in the vineyard during the growing season; staying in touch with the vines at each stage of their development from bud break through harvest. High quality fruit is vital to the creation of our great wines. Our winemaker prefers wines that are dry, balanced and that express the true essences of the fruit from our vineyard, but we have also created lovely sweet and semi sweet wines which are sure to please a wide range of palates.
