Unique stories. Limited dates. Unforgettable experiences.
Throughout the year, Bites of the Bluegrass offers a rotating series of limited edition tours that highlight specific stories, communities, and themes that helped shape Lexington and the Bluegrass. These storytelling-focused experiences combine food, drinks, and history in a way that brings Lexington’s past and present to life.
TIP: These tours are offered on select dates throughout the year and often sell out quickly.
We’ll sip, snack, and stroll through downtown Lexington while sharing the stories of the women who helped shape Kentucky — from trailblazers and rule-breakers to the women behind today’s local businesses. This tour highlights women’s history, resilience, and impact, paired with great food, cocktails, and a fun night out.
Perfect for: Girls’ nights, birthdays, women’s groups, and anyone who loves women’s history and a great night out.
