I purchased a Groupon for the Elk Creek winery and was more than impressed with our visit and all the staff as well... I had originally booked the estates but then read the reviews and decided to call back and book a room in the lodge and so glad we did.. We stayed in the master suite and was impressed with the room.., very clean as well decorated... Bed was very comfy! I recommend the lodge as the place to stay.. Once we arrived and got checked in we went to the winery to sample wines, only qualm I have their flights are a bit pricey to sample.. Took a tour of the winery as well then had a nice prime rib dinner as well.. I am already planning a return trip back...

I bought the group on dinner for 4. I paid $49.99 for $107 value. When we got to the winery, there were only 2 meals to choose from and both just happened to be over the $9.99 limit per person. I showed them the groupon and they stopped me as I was walking away to say we had overages of $50+ for the meals. So let's see.. I paid $49.99 for the groupon and paid an addl $50+ in overages.. Then instead of the 2 bottles of wine valued at $20 each.. They allowed me 1 bottle valued at $16.00. And instead of the 4 wine glasses.. I got 2. This is not a deal as they state. You basically are paying $49.99 which covers 2 dinners and a bottle of wine. And we ordered a meal to go for my son and it was brought out 2 hours before we left.

The winery is a beautiful, very impressive facility. The wine is good but a bit overpriced compared to other wineries we've visited. We took the tour of the winery, which only takes about 20 minutes and is very informative, and you get to see the wine cellars below. There are 3 different accommodations: the Estates are more like traditional motel-type rooms, while in the Lodge and the Inn you have your own bedroom with TV but you share a bathroom, living room, and kitchen with the other residents of the building, which was a little weird for me, although we did have good conversations with other guests both nights we stayed in the Inn. The place was very clean and the bed very comfortable, and the free breakfast at the winery was excellent-- they had quiche both days, as well as bagels, muffins, and do-it-yourself French toast. The views of the countryside are quite nice, too. On the weekends they also have live music. I think this would be a good place for 3 or 4 couples to rent out the Inn or the Lodge and spend the weekend together, or as a retreat for a small corporate group.

We had trouble finding the place once off of the highway. Mentioned it to the server and she said "if people are too stupid to find it, we don't want them here" - NO KIDDING! Ran out of food. Had to take the bottle from the Groupon package home and could not drink it there - Whaaaaaaa????? Ran out of food and took over an hour to get the food that we ordered. It is a very pretty place but parking was awful.

The cafe attached to the sprawling Elk Creek Vineyards came highly recommended to me, so I was eager to give it a try. The winery is not very well sign-posted once you get off the highway, and the vineyard has several buildings around the property, so we were not too sure we had arrived at the right one.We entered the building, still a little unsure we were in the right place, and there was no hostess to greet us, and the employees seemed to be in deep discussion at the bar. A little embarrassed, I had to cut in on their conversation to ask if we could sit anywhere or if we needed to be seated. Turns out there is no table service during the week, but the cafe switches gears at the weekend to offer table side service. Weekdays, you order from a deli counter in the gift shop, and they bring it to the table when it's ready. It is basic sandwich fare with poshed up ingredients. I got a grilled cheese sandwich made with Gouda, Swiss, Havarti, Roma tomatoes and fresh basil on flatbread, and a side of pasta salad. Food is served on plastic tableware - which for me is a definite turnoff.My husband, who was driving, opted for soda, but a friend and I got a flight of wine with our meals. You can choose five tastings (1 oz pours) from around 15 wines for $6, or $9 for the more elite wines in their collection. They were alright; a couple of them were better than others.Would I return? Probably not. The winery is off the beaten path and while the atmosphere is nice and someone has obviously sunk a lot of cash into this venture, overall the food was just average and the experience unremarkable.

I think this was the 4th visit to Elk Creek, Wines of all types to please any taste, and a good deli for light lunches. Nice facility from the tasting room to the outdoor deck which has great views. Elk Creek has lodging, special event capabilities and outdoor activities on a fairly regular basis during the Spring and Summer including top name entertainment at the outdoor amphitheater. A nice venue and a pleasant drive, 30 minutes from Kentucky Speedway.

We stayed in the lodge for our trip. We really enjoyed it! The lodge and the facilities were really well cared for. The continental breakfast was surprisingly good with a lot to offer. With your stay you get a very generous cheese and cracker plate that went really great with our wine. We had the more expensive flight and we did the $6 tasting and the pours were generous and the wine was great. The view from the deck overlooking the vineyard was beautiful, a very relaxing place to enjoy wine and cheese. Our room in the lodge was lovely and very clean. There was a French press in our room for us! The view from our balcony was also lovely. The lodge itself was very nice with lots of areas to sit and enjoy TV or just hang out. There was a fireplace out back with wood. The only complaints we had were that some of the staff members weren't as helpful as they could have been. When we checked in, it wasn't explained to us where the breakfast would be or even how to get into the lodge after it was locked up. Through exploring on our own, however, we figured it uout. The tour guide was also not very exciting or knowledgable, but we still enjoyed our visit very much and would definitely recommend it to others! Just ask the staff questions, because things weren't explained thoroughly to us.

We purchased a groupon for a dinner/wine package for two for $25. The groupon indicated to call first for availability. Since we are two hours away, we called on Memorial Day to verify that they were opened and if there was availablity. The girl that took my call indicated that they were opened from 12:00 until 5:00 with plenty of availability, no need to reserve. When we arrived, to our surprise, the deli was closed due to being out of food. We then proceeded over to the wine bar to purchase some wine. As we stood, no one seemed to want to wait on us. After a while, a girl came up and asked us which wine we were now on (for a tasting) we indicated that we had not been waited on. She apologized and we told her that we had a groupon to which she indicated that the deli was closed due to running out of food. She then offered us a bottle of wine to drink on site and then a bottle up to $19.98 to take home for the groupon. We ended up with a bottle to drink on site that cost $11.99 and had to pay an additional three dollars for the wine that we purchased which was $16.99. We enjoyed oyster crackers as our meal. Never again will we visit Elk Creek again. Groupon is a rip-off and the staff was very rude.

Note: I reviewed our stay at the lodge separately was it was a totally awesome experience. Tour seemed thew together and not well thought out. Seeing the bottling line was probably the most interesting part. When it came time to taste we realized it wasn't including the in the package (huh?) When we asked for recommendation our tour guide mentioned she had only be drinking wine a few months and wasn't really sure about what to recommend that we should try them all...Ok? We tried one of the flights and it was not good, should've read the reviews on here first.

We traveled from Louisville, approx an hour drive. The winery is in a beautiful lodge with an outside deck. The tasting was very informative. We enjoyed a Reisling wine. They also have a tour. There is music on the weekend. There is also a cafe inside the winery which is very good. I vCard would recommend it highly.
