We sat down with Erin Goins, one of the spirited forces behind the Warehouse Block's The Willow, a women-led, adult-only space where wine and pop-ups make room for focus, friendship, and new ideas. Erin helped create The Willow as a place for connection and collaboration, hosting events that bring the community together in meaningful ways.
Erin is also the founder of Bites of the Bluegrass, the Lexington food tour company she started from scratch. Through her tireless work, she has built a citywide love letter that connects restaurants, archives, and street corners to the people and events that shaped them. She rotates stops and scripts to keep things fresh and inclusive, celebrating Lexington's rich immigrant fabric and spotlighting stories that rarely make the marquee. Her work brings history alive through forgotten heroes, misunderstood icons, and the neighborhoods that tell the REAL story of Lexington, KY.
