The Plan:  a wonderful weekend of wine tasting with 12 couples
Subplots:  lots of food
                games
                relaxing by the fireside 
                more wine!
The Venue:  Richwood Plantation Inn, a beautiful historic bed and breakfast on 117 acres in Milton Kentucky, across the street from the Ohio River.  It's on the Indiana border near Madison, not too far from Clifty Falls State Park.

    1. Google maps says it's a little less than 2 hours away, northwest of Lexington. It's on the Indiana border near Madison, not too far from Clifty Falls State Park.
