Springhill Winery

I wanted to love this place. It was right off of interstate 65, on our way to Nashville. The small tasting room building was behind the bed and breakfast and my review is only based on my tasting experience. The lady working knew absolutely nothing I asked her like how far were the other wineries around, what’s the difference between two similar named wines. I would suggest that the owner require her to study up on her down time. We were the only ones there and probably the only ones visiting for hours.
Also, all of the wines for tasting were chilled, even the dry reds, I’ve never experienced that before. I guess they do that to keep the opened bottles lasting longer. I think that the $ 5 for the mediocre tasting was over priced. I would’ve skipped this place if I would’ve known then what I know now.

Springhill winery is a wonderful place to visit. They have great wines and a large selection. I love their merlot and the e port is delicious. (I wanted to taste them all but the girl behind the counter told me there is some ABC rule about only serving 6 ounces per tasting). I guess that means we will have to come back! The atmosphere was so welcoming, the girl behind the counter was so nice and very knowledgable about the wines. She even told some stories about the old house which is a bed and breakfast… sounds like a perfect place for a girls weekend!

I love this winery. The minute we walked in, the staff was friendly and helpful.
We did the wine tastings. I did the premier and sweet tastings. $ 2.50 for 6 tastings or 3 for $ 1.50.
My favorites are Vidal Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Which I purchased.
Excellent service.
Also had a bed and breakfast which is 157 years old.
Please visit this place. It’s a great local winery.

I hate to give any winery, especially a Kentucky winery, two stars. But, Springhill has a long way to go to match some of the many other wineries we’ve visited. They have a nice gift shop/​tasting room right next to an old southern mansion which they use as a Bed N Breakfast. When we walked into the shop we were not even acknowledged by the girl behind the counter. We had to walk up and ask how their tasting worked. She said, it’s 3 selections for $ 1.50 or 6 for $ 3.00. It seemed reasonable so we sat down and selected 3. At most wineries we’ve been to we’re offered a generous serving of selections. Well, to our amazement the first pour was not even an ounce. The second pour was not as much as the first and she didn’t even offer to rinse the glass first. By the third pour, again just a swig, I knew this winery was off my list for good. So I asked why do you only offer such a small sample and she said that’s just what we serve. Oh, and she also served us a small basket of oyster crackers that were stale. Too bad, we might have returned and even stayed a night or two in the B & B.
