ABOUT THIS PROJECT

As the Rabbit Hole brand grew, its operations expanded beyond the original urban campus in downtown Louisville. Luckett & Farley helped bring this vision to life with a thoughtfully designed concept for an event center in Henry County, Kentucky. 

The proposed Rabbit Hole Tasting Room and Event Space is an exciting addition to the brand’s Henry County campus, extending its presence beyond the city to a more scenic, rural setting. Designed to accommodate 150 to 200 guests, the venue offers private tastings, mixology classes, corporate events, weddings, and more. Key features include a spacious assembly area, tasting bar, private meeting room, catering kitchen, and a waterside patio, all carefully positioned to capture panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

Blending modern design with natural elements, the structure utilizes wood and glass to create a seamless connection to the outdoors. Materials such as shou-sugi-ban wood siding, corten steel, and exposed wood trusses enhance its rustic yet contemporary aesthetic. Sustainable building practices are integrated throughout, including low-flow plumbing fixtures, daylighting controls, and native landscaping to minimize water use. The venue’s strategic siting preserves natural views, fostering an authentic sense of place.

Guided by AIA’s Framework for Design Excellence, the project emphasizes integration, resource efficiency, wellness, and water conservation. Flexible spaces and durable materials ensure long-term relevance, while local sourcing and solar panels reduce environmental impact. The design maximizes natural light, enhances occupant well-being with advanced air filtration, and reduces water usage through efficient fixtures and rainwater collection.

The Rabbit Hole Tasting Room and Event Space stands as a testament to sustainable design, offering a unique destination for unforgettable experiences.
