About LoCo Wines

LoCo Wines is a winery in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, the oldest permanent English settlement west of the Allegheny Mountains. That historic backdrop makes Harrodsburg an already compelling destination, and having a winery with guided tours adds another reason to visit. The business covers wineries, wine tours, and general beer, wine, and spirits offerings, giving it a broader appeal than a single-focus tasting room. Mercer County's rolling landscape is well-suited to viticulture, and LoCo Wines takes full advantage of that setting.

Services & Process

LoCo Wines runs organized wine tours, which typically include a walkthrough of the vineyard, an explanation of how grapes are grown and harvested in Kentucky's climate, and a guided tasting of current wines. As a full winery operation, they produce wines on-site and sell them directly to visitors. The beer, wine, and spirits category suggests a retail component as well, so you can pick up a variety of bottles beyond their own label. It's a setup that works well for both curious first-timers and more experienced wine drinkers.

LoCo Wines is based in Harrodsburg and serves Mercer County and the surrounding Bluegrass region. Visitors frequently come from Lexington, which is about 30 miles away, as well as from Danville and Nicholasville. The winery is also a natural stop on any touring route through central Kentucky's historic corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a wine tour at LoCo Wines typically take?
Most winery tours in Kentucky run between 60 and 90 minutes, covering the vineyard, the production facility, and a tasting session at the end. It's worth calling (859) 559-1713 to confirm tour duration and scheduling before your visit.
Can I combine a visit to LoCo Wines with other Harrodsburg attractions?
Absolutely. Harrodsburg is home to Old Fort Harrod State Park and the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, both within a short drive. Pairing a winery visit with one of these historic sites makes for a full and rewarding day trip.
Do they grow their own grapes or source them from elsewhere?
Many Kentucky wineries grow some of their own fruit while also sourcing from regional vineyards, depending on the variety and growing season. Ask the staff on your tour which wines are estate-grown and which use outside fruit.
What wine varieties grow well in Kentucky's climate?
Kentucky's warm summers and humid conditions favor cold-hardy hybrid varieties like Vidal Blanc, Chambourcin, and Norton, which is sometimes called the state grape of Kentucky. You'll also find some producers working with Cabernet Franc and other vinifera varieties in favorable growing conditions.
Is LoCo Wines a good spot for a couple's day trip?
It's a very popular choice for couples. A vineyard tour, a shared tasting, and the scenic Mercer County landscape add up to a relaxed and memorable outing that doesn't require a lot of planning.
Do they carry beers and spirits in addition to their own wines?
Yes, the beer, wine, and spirits category indicates a broader retail selection beyond their house wines. This makes it a convenient stop if you're looking to pick up a variety of Kentucky-made or other quality beverages.
