About First Vineyard Winery

First Vineyard Winery in Nicholasville carries a perfect 5.0 rating, drawn from a small but telling set of five reviews, which suggests every single guest so far has left completely satisfied. Nicholasville sits in Jessamine County, just south of Lexington, putting it squarely in the heart of Kentucky's bluegrass region. The area is known for its thoroughbred farms and rolling pastures, and a winery here fits naturally into that landscape. As both a winery and event venue, First Vineyard serves a community that has access to Lexington's amenities but genuinely values local, slower-paced experiences.

Services & Process

First Vineyard operates as both a working winery and an event space, meaning guests can enjoy a tasting room visit and scope out the venue for future events in a single trip. Wine tastings let you work through their current selections with staff guidance, pairing flavors against the backdrop of Jessamine County's open countryside. The venue side handles weddings, rehearsal dinners, anniversary parties, and private gatherings for groups that want something more personal than a hotel ballroom. Wine club memberships give regulars ongoing access to new releases and member-only perks without requiring a trip out every time.

Service Area

First Vineyard serves guests from Nicholasville and throughout Jessamine County, with Lexington just a few miles to the north. It draws visitors from Wilmore, Harrodsburg, and Danville as well, and Lexington's size means a steady flow of urban visitors making the short trip south. Event clients from across central Kentucky regularly consider the venue for its scenic rural setting within easy reach of a major city.
