About Vinery, Ltd. in Lexington Kentucky



Our 440 acre Kentucky farm, with its gently rolling pastures and rich soil, provides the ideal conditions to raise equine athletes. We provide support and services for breeders from the time their mares are bred, through foaling, and on through sales or racing preparation. Vinery's confidence in its strong roster of stallions is evidenced by the support that we give them with our quality broodmares, our commitment to their offspring in the sales ring and our purchasing of individuals for our international racing stables.
