📍 Wildside Winery | Versailles, KY

Join us for one of the most magical afternoons and evenings of the year at Wildside — when hot air balloons rise over the vineyard at sunset and the whole place feels a little extra special. ✨

Come early, grab a glass of wine, enjoy live music, browse local vendors, and settle in for an unforgettable view as the sky fills with color.

What to expect:

🍷 Wildside wine flowing all afternoon

🎶 Live music throughout the day (lineup coming soon)

🛍️ Curated local vendors — artists, makers, boutiques, farmers & food trucks

🎈 Hot air balloon rides beginning around 6:30 PM (weather permitting)

Balloon Ride Details:

💰 $20 per person

💵 Cash only

⏱ First come, first served

🎈 Short, tethered rides designed for views + photos

• Lines for balloon rides often start forming around 5:30 PM
