Drink KY enhanced interactive experiences bring Kentucky’s wineries, breweries to your fingertips

FRANKFORT, Ky. — The Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) is introducing new features to its popular guide to the commonwealth’s wineries and craft breweries: Drink KY. Initially launched in 2021, the progressive web app updates include social integration and content additions.

Drink KY is a free resource that allows users to plan and track their visits to Kentucky’s wineries and breweries, earn rewards through geo-fenced location check-ins, and learn about the commonwealth’s unique craft beer and wine scenes.

The new social integration provides functionality for networking that includes marking fellow Drink KY users as friends, finding others by shared preferences, and “liking” interactions. Individuals’ profiles will remain private by default, but users will have access to the new social integration features by changing their preferences to the public in profile settings.

Newly introduced notifications will alert individuals when they have a new follower when someone has liked a user’s note or check-in, when a manual check-in request has been approved, and when they are reaching new reward levels. Additionally, the newly launched updates allow Drink KY users to add images to their notes and share those images in their public feeds.

To begin your personal wine or craft beer trail, start using the Department’s official interactive experience at https://www.drink-ky.com/.

Drink KY, is a collaboration of the KDA, the Kentucky Grape and Wine Council, and the Kentucky Guild of Brewers.
