About this venue

Talon Winery is a historic wedding venue in Lexington, Kentucky, with over five acres of vineyard and three hundred acres of farmland. Located on the Fair View Farm, this venue offers a nice country getaway from all the hustle and bustle of the city and is nestled between some of Kentucky’s most beautiful horse farms. Couples celebrating their nuptials can enjoy a wine tasting in Talon’s 18th-century tasting room. The panoramic views of the magnificent trees, rolling green hills, and expansive skies offer a breathtaking backdrop to any special event.

Facilities and Capacity

Boasting breathtaking vistas, a sun-kissed patio, and best of all, incredible wine, this venue is a bucolic space to begin creating shared memories. Couples can take in the whole property while strolling down the winding path hand in hand. Talon Winery has two main event spaces: the Ca’Barn’et Barrel Barn and the Monarch Pavilion. The Ca’Barn’et Barrel Barn is a short distance away from the award-winning vineyard. Whether you are dreaming of a classic, romantic venue or one with a rustic-chic vibe, this barn can be transformed to suit your wedding vision. This indoor area overflows out the main doors onto a small patio area and can collectively seat 200 to 250 comfortably. Intimate wedding venues can be held on the patio overlooking the beautiful vineyards and the tranquil pond. The barn boasts a bar area, a catering kitchen, concrete floors, a dance floor, a foyer, heating and air conditioning, and indoor restrooms. The Monarch Pavilion is Talon’s exclusively outdoor location, complete with both covered space and open areas that create a wonderfully relaxing environment for you and your guests. With a capacity to host up to 250 guests, this expansive lawn area ensures that each couple is able to celebrate their union with those closest to them.

Flexible and Beautiful

The vineyard is beautiful for weddings. The staff was very flexible to our needs. We had a small (50) wedding so used the smaller pavilion instead of the barn. They set up as we wanted and let us decorate. You do have to use their wine (which we enjoyed) and no other alcohol, which was not a problem for us. Using the Bridal Suite for preparation was convenient and a nice room to relax in after pictures and before ceremony. Overall, had a great experience.

Talon Winery was the PERFECT venue for our wedding!

Everything was perfect - from start to finish. Jill and her staff are wonderful, super helpful, professional, and really great people. The venue is gorgeous, the barn was absolutely stunning, and everything was super clean and well-maintained. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful everything looked. You don't even need to add much decor to the barn because it's so beautiful as it is. The price is also very reasonable, which we really appreciated. Oh, and the wine is SO GOOD!! I am looking forward to going back for a visit & more wine!

Best Wedding Day Ever!

Talon exceeded our expectations. We were blown away by the beauty and convenience of the venue (as well as the AC), the ease with placing orders and contacting staff, as well as the general experience from start-to-finish. Jill is EXCEPTIONAL and made our day a breeze. We highly recommend Talon and could not speak more highly of our day. (Photo by Morgan Snellings Photography)

Easy planning with lots of options

Talon is a hidden gem of a venue. Jill was helpful throughout the entire process. We liked that we had a backup plan if it rained. For the bride that doesn’t want to travel day of for things, this is the place for you! We rented the bridal suite where the bridal party was able to get ready. We had hair and makeup come to us. We had our outdoor ceremony at the arbor in the vineyard. Our reception was in the barn which had a/c. If it was going to rain or too hot we could’ve had our ceremony in the barn. We had to purchase the alcohol through them and could only have beer, wine and hard seltzer due to liquor license. When it was all decorated it was absolutely beautiful. The venue is very vendor friendly.

Awesome experience

The venue at talon winery was beautiful and just what my daughter was looking for to celebrate her special day. Jill was awesome to work with- she readily answered all of our questions; would meet with us with limited notice when needed and would arrange for us to look at the venue as needed. The staff that worked the wedding were friendly and helpful as well. All around great experience- nothing but good things to say!
