Walking Tour
Explore Whiskey Row on Foot
SEE LOUISVILLE WITHOUT LEAVING LOUISVILLE.
Not every Bourbon day has to be a full day in the Kentucky countryside. Our Whiskey Row Walking Tour keeps you right in the heart of downtown Louisville, on foot along the historic cast-iron storefronts of Main Street and into three world-class distilleries.
In about two hours you'll taste bourbon at every stop and hear the realstory of the city that made America's native spirit famous. Perfect on its own, or as the ideal add-on to a full-day Bourbon Excursions tour. All tastings included
