Choose Your Favorite Distilleries

Kentucky is home to dozens of outstanding distilleries. Some of the most popular stops include:

  • Buffalo Trace Distillery
  • Woodford Reserve Distillery
  • Castle & Key Distillery
  • Four Roses Distillery
  • Wild Turkey Distillery
  • Maker’s Mark Distillery
  • Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience
  • Bardstown Bourbon Company

Reserve your distillery tours several weeks in advance, especially if you plan to visit during spring, summer, or fall.

Plan a Comfortable Daily Itinerary

Although many distilleries appear close together on a map, travel times can be longer than expected. A relaxed schedule lets you enjoy each stop without feeling rushed.

A typical day includes:

  • Three or four distillery tours
  • Lunch at a local Kentucky restaurant
  • Time for bourbon tastings
  • Shopping for exclusive bottles
  • Scenic photo stops

Focusing on quality instead of quantity creates a more enjoyable bourbon experience.

Experience More Than Bourbon

Many visitors add other Kentucky attractions to their itinerary, including:

  • Keeneland Race Course
  • Churchill Downs
  • Historic Downtown Louisville
  • Historic Bardstown
  • Frankfort River District

These attractions add even more unforgettable memories to your Kentucky vacation.

Book Your Trip Early

Bourbon tourism continues to grow every year. As a result, distillery tours, hotels, and private transportation often sell out months in advance.

Booking early gives you the greatest flexibility and helps secure reservations at your favorite distilleries.
