Item Description

In the heart of the gorgeous Bluegrass region of Kentucky, Lexington is an award-winning America in Bloom city. Experience our legendary landscapes, see celebrity horses on tours of magnificent farms, sample hand-crafted bourbon along the Bourbon Trail, and dine at one of over 100 locally-owned eateries. With our quaint southern charm, quirky downtown arts scene and picturesque setting, Lexington showcases all the best our state has to offer.  

This 2-person package includes one hotel room for a 2-night stay in a downtown hotel overlooking Triangle Park in the historic city center (including an in-room hospitality sampler). You will enjoy a guided tour of a working horse farm; visit Keeneland, our thoroughbred racecourse with “genteel racing as it was meant to be," and receive two tickets for each of 3 important historic homes: Ashland, the elegant historic home of statesman Henry Clay; Mary Todd Lincoln’s childhood home on West Main Street; and Hopemont in Gratz Park, the 1814 home and hemp museum of the Lexington family credited with the early growth of the city and its moniker “Athens of the West”. Also included is a $50 restaurant gift certificate.

By request, you can receive a personal tour of the Arboretum of Kentucky and its signature Children’s Garden and Walk Across Kentucky hosted by an AIBLex board member.  Sample local food, local beer, local wine, local bourbon! There’s lots to love in Lexington KY!
