Welcome to Bluegrass Country

Kentucky: the birth­place of Abraham Lincoln, home of the Kentucky Derby, world-famous bourbon, the Mint Julep and fields of bluegrass. Kentucky is a state full of unbridled spirit! But it’s not just the symbols of Kentucky that make it so appealing - it’s the scenery and the people, too. Where else can you see rolling green pastures decorated with white fences and glorious stallions in their blazing beauty? Take picturesque scenery and mix in southern hospitality, stir in nostalgia and top if off with a bit of class and you have Kentucky.
