Public Bourbon Tours

Your all-inclusive ticket to Bourbon Country

We plan your day from start to finish – transporting you to three different Kentucky distilleries and grabbing lunch at a local restaurant.

Your Mint Julep guide will lead the way sharing tons of bourbon knowledge not covered on distillery tours and filling in the blanks between each stop. He or she will take care of all the details – from timing to admissions and more. You just sit back and enjoy your fully-guided day exploring Kentucky!

All public bourbon tours depart from the Galt House Hotel in downtown Louisville. Departure times and destinations vary. Thursday, Friday and Saturday tours are $149 per person.

Public bourbon tours include transportation with an expert guide, distillery admissions for two tours and three tastings, lunch at a local restaurant, and bottled water.

Be sure to stamp your Kentucky Bourbon Trail® passport along the way at participating distilleries. Two-day and three-day public bourbon tour packages are available. Pick your favorite distilleries to make your own bundle.

New in 2018, join an Urban Adventure for a quick trip to either Kentucky Artisan Distillery (morning) or Stitzel-Weller Distillery, the home of Bulleit Frontier Whiskey, (afternoon) each Thursday. Make it a double and do both for a discounted price! These half-day distillery tours are $65 per person or $125 when you do both. Or see how a bourbon barrel is made at Brown-Forman Cooperage on a half-day cooperage tour.
