The Central Bourbon Tour
The Central Bourbon Tour will bring you to the classic flavors such as Buffalo Trace, Four Roses, Woodford Reserve, as well as, the many Central Kentucky attractions!
This is the Bourbon Trail as most people picture it — limestone creeks, white fences, copper stills and rickhouses that have been breathing Kentucky summers for a century. Everything runs from Lexington, so you are rarely more than forty minutes from your hotel, which leaves more of the day for the distilleries and less of it for the road.

Details
What the day looks like
Your chauffeur collects your group from your hotel, home or office. We handle the drive time between distilleries, the parking, and the schedule, so nobody in your party has to nominate a designated driver or watch the clock.
Most Central tours run three to four distilleries with a lunch stop, but the itinerary is yours. Tell us which labels matter to your group and we build the route around them.
Booking your date
Request a date when you book now and we will contact you to confirm your reservation. Distillery tour slots during the spring and fall are limited, so the earlier we have your date, the better the run of stops we can secure.
