Talon Winery Shelbyville — Attraction in Shelbyville

I was underwhelmed by my experience at this winery. The staff lack customer service skills and I witnessed them being rude to many customers that night.

The first disappointment came when I ordered a flight, only to be handed a single glass of wine. When I mentioned that I had ordered a flight and wanted to take it to the upstairs room we had rented, the staff member replied, "We don’t have enough wood planks for flights." If that’s the case, why offer flights in the first place? Not everyone wants to stand at the bar to taste wines—I wanted to join my group.

The second letdown was the upstairs space we rented. It was cramped, uncomfortable, and absolutely not worth the price.

Finally, the wine itself was a disappointment. I tried several, both from my supposed "flight" and the bottles my group ordered, and not a single one was enjoyable or palatable. To top it off, they had variations of Moscato but didn’t offer a traditional Moscato, which seemed like an odd omission.

Overall, this experience was disappointing from start to finish. With multiple better options in the area, I don’t see myself returning to...

Talon Winery was a wonderful stop on our way back from Shelbyville, KY. Day two of our staycation. The location is right next to Highway 65 Shelbyville exit. On the same road is also a Bourbon Distillery. Krisite W. was the associate that helped us. She was very helpful and knowledgeable and was nice to talk with as well. Thank you for your help. The wine tasting pours were very good as well which is what also helped us to make a decision to purchase as much as we did. The building with the tastings was very quaint. They had a nice selection of trinkets, and accessories for nice gifts, a good assortment of cheese and crackers and other drinks to compliment the tastings. Thank you for a nice wine tasting experience...

What a lovey surprise! Tastings include three wine options. My husband and I chose different wines so we could share/taste a total of six (because we are sneaky like that). And they were all GOOD. We both prefer dryer wines, and found a strong collection of dry whites and reds. Of the ones we tasted, my favorites were the Merlot and Moondance (a Pinot Gris). My husband preferred the Monarch (Cabernet Franc). With that said…ALL were nice. The staff were helpful and made the tasting experience fun. We ended up with glasses of our favorites with the tasty pimento cheese and crackers. I highly recommend you stop in for a tasting, a glass, or a bottle that you can enjoy in comfort inside or out. And pimento cheese. ...
