Top tags:

Two guys who used to do other things but decided creating award winning wines with new twists was a hell of a lot more fun.

Located between Makers Mark Distillery and Limestone Branch Distillery off of Route 49 in Marion County. We offer the most spectacular views whilst you enjoy our winning Dry, Sweet, or canned wines. Along with Wine Slushies and our newest product...Kentucky Kangria with some old faces being re-introduced.

Also, new apparel designs so you can wear our weirdness proudly.

Wonderful people! Amazing food! We were visiting bourbon distilleries and stopped here for lunch. We sat outside and enjoyed the day and our lunch with some great wine slushies. We did the wine tasting—not great selections for our taste.

Had our date for our 14th anniversary at their place... And we had a really nice time...got to do the wine testing and accompanied with some really cool dishes and topped it with some to go...it was around 6:30 - 7 when we got there and weather was perfect for the outside patio and the deck. Already recommended to some friends. Planning on coming back sometime this summer

We found Jester's while taking in the bourbon trail. The Staff was very accommodating and friendly. The food was great and so was the wine. We will certainly make this a visit on our next trip.

I was concerned when my tour guest told me he was on a plant-based diet, but the great folks at Jester's winery came to the rescue with Arugula salad, broccoli salad and some fun wines to accommodate. Thanks a bunch!

While I'm sure we went at the "off" time of year, the food was great, but for what we paid for it, I would have expected to at least eaten off of a plate instead of a to go box.

We got a little carried away for our lunch date but this place had some of the best potato salad and pork that we have had in a long time. Loved the pickles and begged for a jar. The bourbon bubbly was great too. Highly recommended.

Jesters is the best restaurant in the county in my opinion. They use local ingredients and the food is handcrafted. This is not something that you can experience anywhere else in a 30 mile radius. The prices are very reasonable. The wine cans are delicious. I love the owners sarcasm, and their menu even states that they are "The best at being humble." This place is a hidden gem. I highly recommend that you stop here if you are ever in the area. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

went in mid October for lunch /very quite area with patio and indoor seating /they had no problem that we had our dog outside /service was amazing/we tried the sampler flight of 7 wines pork tacos pimento burger and chicken wrap /the wrap was huge and had to take half home tacos were delicious with a kick of chipotle ranch & burger was good but hubby stated that coleslaw on it would be a good compliment/ the broccoli salad is not broccoli heads but more of a slaw type salad (as a heads up)/ potato salad had a great amount of cheddar (yum) and a ting of a smokey flavor but really good/ staff is super friendly and will accommodate/ will return again if ever back in the area!
