Bourbon Tours

January Promotion is $20 off per person for the bourbon East special!

‍

Join us as we travel into the rolling hills of Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region to explore the history and craftsmanship of Bourbon production. Our Bourbon Excursions visit beautiful Bourbon distilleries for tours of their historic grounds where you’ll watch Bourbon being made and savor the final product in their tasting rooms. The sweet smell is all around as you walk among these Kentucky treasures. Your tour will include private transportation, a fun and knowledgeable local guide along with admissions, tours and tastings at legendary Bourbon distilleries. We'll stop for lunch at a local restaurant, but this is not included in the price. See the list below for some of the most popular locations.
