Launched by the Tennessee Distillers Guild in 2017, the Tennessee Whiskey Trail is a group of 26 distilleries in the state of Tennessee making whiskey and other spirits. A wide range of Tennessee distilleries are included from micro-distilleries to legendary and historic distillers.
The Tennessee Whiskey Trail website suggests that you could tour all participating distilleries in 10 days. Each distillery tour differs and can last anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Cost for tours and tasting also varies. If you do plan to visit all the distilleries on the Tennessee Whiskey Trail, be sure to get a Tennessee Whiskey Trail passport at your first stop or download the Tennessee Whiskey Trail app. By collecting stamps at each destination, you’ll earn a free t-shirt upon completion.
One easy way to see several distilleries in a short period is to join Mint Julep Experiences on our Tennessee Whiskey Tours. Currently, five Tennessee Whiskey Trail distilleries are included in our guided tour and tasting day trips leaving Nashville each morning Wednesday through Sunday. Large groups may consider buying out a Mint Julep tour bus for a private experience.
The Tennessee Whiskey Trail is divided into three sections. Mint Julep focuses on the distilleries of middle Tennessee for its Nashville tours. We think the best way to enjoy Tennessee whiskey is with someone else as your driver and guide. Mint Julep plans your entire day so all you have to do is sit back and relax! Safe and responsible transportation makes it easy to enjoy the best Tennessee whiskey.
Here’s a complete list of Tennessee Whiskey Trail distilleries with notes on tour and tasting options and an easy to use map. Distilleries marked with an asterisk (*) are currently included in Mint Julep tours.
