BAKER-BIRD WINERY
The oldest commercial estate winery in America, the Baker-Bird Winery was built by German immigrants who settled in the area. Because this section of the Ohio River reminded the German settlers of their homeland, the area in and around Augusta was dubbed “America’s Rhineland.” The Baker-Bird brand denotes high quality wines. Since its reopening in 2010, visitors have the chance to step back into history. In addition to award-winning wines, Baker-Bird features many local and regional products, including Kentucky Proud items.
