McIntyre's Winery & Berries

This is an adorable small town winery! The staff were so sweet, and even when they had to help other customers, she always kept us updated. We had a wine tasting that consisted of 6 wines each. This winery is focused on fruit wine, and if you've ever seen Schitts Creek, we were ready to say, "This wine is awful... get me another glass!" truly, that didn't happen. They have wines for every palate! I tend to like more dry wines, but in this case, since they were all fruit based, most of my favorites were the semi sweet wines. I've added our tasting notes below, but definitely check it out for yourself! Malbec (dry) - strong plumb finishBlack currant (dry) - bitter finishElderberry (dry) - very acidicCranberry (dry) - very smooth, great on its own, or she recommended pairing it with champagne for a holiday drinkStrawberry (dry) - smooth, berry, and mildly tartBlackberry (semisweet) - good finishBlueberry (semisweet) - mildly sweet, loved this one! It was my personal fav!Persimmon (semi sweet) - would be good served cold, earthy, honey tonesElderberry (semi sweet) - acidic, we wanted to like all the elderberry wines, but it didn't appeal to usClan McIntyre Port (semi sweet) - hints of licorice, pepper, and some fruits. This was my boyfriend's fav! He loves port, though! Raspberry (semisweet) - very smooth and mildly sweet. This would be a dessert wine I'd enjoy (not so sweet).Honeysuckle (sweet) - very sweet, nectar. Good dessert wine.

Nice place. Owner is really nice, he waited on us, explained their process and where they get the fruit from. Would definitely come back.

This unique winery is tucked into the hills of Bardstown, KY. They have a long and varied list of berry wines including Elderberry, Blackberry, Strawberry and Black Currant (my new favorite!The kids enjoyed picking blueberries in the field. The porch is used for events like a wedding reception scheduled for later. The owner has AirBnB houses that back up to the winery if you want to be within walking distance. It doesn't have a full restaurant though, just wine, cheese and locally made beef jerky, so plan accordingly.

Love this honeysuckle wine!!! So glad we went to the jtown farmers market and found this booth! Can't wait to visit the winery this summer.

Such an amazing little place! When you drive up the hill and around, you kinda might worry about where you're heading. But don't worry, if you see the Bud Light sign on the window behind the McIntyre's banner, you're in the right place!The new building was just built last year (if I remember correctly), and it's a nice open space. I do like the vineyards (bare right now because of the winter, but we'll be back for summer). We got to see a little of the winemaking process and it's really absolutely amazing for a small production.My favorite? The rose petal wine.

The owner was very attentive and personable to our needs. Explaining how he makes the wine and the history about the property! First time to Kentucky and this winery! A must if you are visiting Bardstown.

This was by far the best wine tasting with the most unique and organic flavor profiles I have ever tried. Tommy the owner and creator of the wines is completely a joy to talk and learn from. The fact that he makes his wine flavors in dry/semi/sweet and we had the opportunity too try and compare in each. We will definitely be back!!!

While visiting the Bourbon Trail, we took a little detour from bourbon and happened upon this little family owned and operated winery. It was one of the best and unexpected decisions of the trip! We spent a couple of hours with the owner, who shared his wines and the wine-making process with us. He was such a gracious host and explained the passion he has for wine making and keeping this business running and in the family. We purchased several bottles from him, including a local Malbec, a very unique corn cob wine, and a perfect raspberry chocolate which we will have for dessert in the future. We will definitely be back and so glad we found this perfect spot! Thank you, Mr. McIntyre, for spending some time with us on our Kentucky vacation!

This was one of the best experiences we've had on the "Kentucky bourbon trail" and I would recommend everyone to stop in. Thomas is an amazing host who just happens to be the vintner of delicious wines. So genuine and happy to share his wines with guests. We happened across him because he's open later than the distilleries and we are so glad we did. If you haven't stopped in, you're missing out. Where else can you try corn cob, persimmon, and sassafras wine??

Great place to visit, great tasting wine. Go visit asap. Very friendly people. Make sure to stop in there, you will be glad
