Explanation:
[STC004657] It’s possible that the state of Kentucky is not the first place that comes to mind when you think of vineyards. Along the banks of the Kentucky River, to the south of Lexington, was located the very first commercial vineyard in the United States, which opened its doors in the year 1799. In 1796, a Swiss vintner by the name of John James Dufour made the journey to North America. He did so because he saw a chance to create a winemaking industry in that region, which did not previously exist. The location that Dufour selected for his “First Vineyard” was advantageously situated close to the port in Quantico and offered stunning views of the Kentucky River. Not only was it the first commercial winery in the state of Kentucky, but it was also the first business in the state to be incorporated. Even after being included in the National Register of Historic Places in May of 2016, First Vineyard continues to be open to the public for wine tastings.
