After breakfast, head deep into the heart of Bluegrass Country for a Scenic Rail Biking adventure. This unique activity takes you on a 10-mile round-trip journey through Kentucky’s famous Bluegrass countryside.

At the halfway point, there’s a stop for pictures at two iconic sights: Young’s High Bridge and Wild Turkey Distillery. This is a great time to take group photos, enjoy the views, and simply soak in the beauty of the region before traveling back. (Note: Experiences may vary depending on 2026 seasonal availability.)
After biking, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.
Versailles is surrounded by world-famous horse farms. This afternoon, enjoy a guided tour of the region’s legendary thoroughbred farms—such as WinStar Farm or Woodburn Stud—and learn about Kentucky’s deep horse racing heritage. It’s an educational and visually stunning part of the day.
