First Vineyard Winery, established in 1799, holds the distinction of being the first commercial winery in the United States, founded by Swiss immigrant John James Dufour with backing from prominent figures including U.S. Secretary of State Henry Clay. The vineyard's historical significance is underscored by its connection to notable individuals like Daniel Boone, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, who all contributed to its storied past.

Located in Nicholasville, Kentucky, First Vineyard offers a diverse selection of wines, including dry, semi-dry, and sweet varieties, alongside a commemorative bottling of the original Alexander grape. With on-site lodging available at the Sugar Creek Resort Bed and Breakfast, First Vineyard serves as a unique destination for both wine enthusiasts and history lovers alike.
