Tour the distillery that shares our county's name, then come home to a restored 1881 landmark — about a 14-minute drive from the rickhouses.
The Woodford Hotel is a restored boutique landmark in downtown Versailles — about a 14-minute drive from the distillery gates, and minutes from the rest of Central Kentucky's bourbon country. Tour by day, return to a beautiful historic suite by evening.
From The Woodford Hotel at 112 N Main Street, the drive to Woodford Reserve is part of the experience — about 14 minutes out McCracken Pike. It winds along Glenns Creek beneath a tree canopy, past dry-laid limestone fences and Thoroughbred farms — no interstate, no city traffic, just two-lane bluegrass countryside between your room and the rickhouses.
Always confirm current tour availability and reservations directly with the distillery before you go.
Most visitors book a chain hotel in Lexington and drive 30-plus minutes each way. Stay in Versailles and you're a few minutes from the gates, in a restored downtown landmark — and just as close to the rest of the trail.
Woodford Reserve is in our own Woodford County — the nearest major distillery to the hotel, about 14 minutes away.
Buffalo Trace, Four Roses, Castle & Key and Wild Turkey are all a short drive in nearly every direction from this basecamp.
Walk to dinner and a nightcap in historic downtown Versailles instead of driving back to an interstate off-ramp.
The Woodford Reserve Suite is one of eight at the hotel, each named for a bourbon that built this region — most laid out like a one-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen and sitting area, in a building that has anchored downtown Versailles since 1881.
