Visit Lexington Keeneland Horse Track!

A National Landmark, Keeneland is home to spectacular Thoroughbred racing. While horse racing events do not take place in May, Keeneland features beautifully landscaped grounds that are open to the public every day (for free).

See the horses run! In the mornings, you can catch the jockeys riding horses around the track. We suggest grabbing a coffee and going to the track to watch the horses or just take a walk around the stables.

Book a tour. If you're looking for more of an educational experience, you can book tours (https://visithorsecountry.com/). Learn about the history of Keeneland, go behind-the-scenes of our racing and sales operations, enjoy a trackside view of morning workouts, get an exclusive look at the Jockeys Quarters and much more.

You have to drink bourbon when in Kentucky!

Located in the rolling hills of horse country, experience the truest expression of Woodford Reserve at the historic distillery in Versailles, KY. You can go for drinks on the patio, but we suggest booking a distillery & tasting tour! Book early as they sell out quickly (https://www.woodfordreserve.com/our-distillery/tour-our-distillery/).

If you're looking for a place to hang on a nice day stop by the Lexington Distillery District!

This area is a lively downtown destination. You’ll find two working bourbon distilleries on the historic site, (Elk Horn & James Pepper). Plus, the easily walkable area combined with its diverse food, ice cream, and breweries makes the Distillery District one of Lexington’s most exciting hotspots.
