Welcome to Kentucky, home of Bourbon. After landing, you are met by our private driver and whisked away to your home for the next four nights. Select from one of our 2 favorite host hotels in the heart of Louisville and enjoy an afternoon at leisure. Tonight, we regroup for cocktails and enjoy a welcome dinner with traditional local cuisine and perfectly paired bourbons.
Explore the Frankfort/Versailles region with a morning at Woodford Reserve, surrounded by thoroughbred farms. We then enjoy lunch at a cozy spot with a superb bourbon selection and southern cooking. In the afternoon, we indulge in a private tour at Whiskey Thief distillery, set on a 127-acre farm. Discover bourbon-making, "thieve" from the barrel, and savor an intimate atmosphere reminiscent of a friendly bar. Dinner at leisure.
Embark on a bourbon-filled day starting at Maker's Mark's scenic countryside property for a private experience. Move on to Willett Distillery for a fantastic lunch at their renowned restaurant, paired with Bourbon. Conclude the journey with a visit to Bardstown Bourbon Company, offering a "new-school" distilling approach, rounding out your day with modern bourbon exploration. We later enjoy our dinner in town, paired with some of Katie's favorite wines (or Bourbons).
Enjoy a leisurely morning (our travel concierge is available to arrange any extra distilleries/experiences you might fancy) before diving into the vibrant city of Louisville. After lunch at leisure, our last private experience awaits at Pursuit Distilling Company, a newer establishment where you can craft your own bourbon blend and bottle it for a personalized touch. Immerse yourselves in the art of distillation in the heart of Louisville's bourbon scene. Dinner is at leisure.
When ready, you are privately transferred to the airport for your flight home. Or, extend your stay in the region by having our team of travel experts organize a tour beyond Louisville. Why not explore Frankfort or Elizabethtown?
