Bravard Vineyards and Winery

Published: April 1, 2011, 4 a.m.

If you want to experience the culture of winemaking but a trip to Tuscany isn't in the budget, you need look no further than your own backyard. We have the Black Oak Vineyard in Princeton, and Paducah's Broken Branch and Purple Toad wineries. And, amid the meadows outside Hopkinsville, Jim and Janet Bravard have grown and blended a passion for winemaking into a family business. Here they give Jacque Day a taste of what they have to offer.
