Private Events at The Woodford Hotel
An 1881 landmark on Main Street, Versailles — the front porch of Kentucky bourbon country.
Some rooms host meetings. Ours hosts the kind of gatherings people plan trips around: barrel-pick celebrations, bourbon club summits, private tastings, working offsites that end better than they started. The event space at The Woodford Hotel puts your group inside a restored Gilded Age hotel, steps from downtown Versailles and minutes from the distilleries that made this county famous.
Sunday through Wednesday, the space is yours
We reserve our weekends for overnight guests and full-hotel buyouts — which means Sunday through Wednesday, the event space is available all day (8 a.m.–6 p.m.) for private events. It is the quiet advantage nobody else in bourbon country offers: a historic venue, an empty Main Street morning, and distillery tours running all around you. Select weekend dates open up as well — inquire and we will tell you straight what is available.
Built for bourbon-country gatherings
- Barrel-pick headquarters — start here, pick at the distillery, return to toast the barrel. We can arrange transportation and private tastings through our local partners.
- Bourbon club meetings — bring the club to the source. Eight bourbon-themed suites upstairs if the meeting becomes a weekend.
- Corporate offsites & retreats — a midweek offsite in Versailles beats a conference room in Lexington every time.
- Private dinners & tastings — distillery brand events and private groups have used this space for exactly this.
Take the whole hotel
Booking all eight suites? Add the event space and the entire building is yours — lodging, gathering space, and Main Street address, exclusively. Everyone staying with you can use it, and it is yours from check-in to check-out — priced per night or for the entire stay. Full-hotel groups get first right to the space on their dates.
