Why Our Bourbon Trail Tours Are the Best

A lot of people who visit Kentucky are coming with bourbon on their minds. But at the Louisville Bourbon Inn, our Bourbon Trail tours aren’t just another way to sample bourbon brands. They are private, all-inclusive Bourbon Trail tours that combine distillery visits with Kentucky’s other traditions, like thoroughbred horse farms and bourbon candies. We offer one- and two-day experiences that we’ve designed exclusively for our overnight guests.

We think we offer the best Bourbon Trail tours around. Here’s how our tours are different, and what makes them better than the rest.

1. Exclusively for Louisville Bourbon Inn Guests

You won’t find our tours advertised to the general public. They are private, intimate, all-inclusive Bourbon Trail tours that are only available to people staying at the inn. For you, this means single-couple or very small  groups, personalized attention, and special add-ons that help you effortlessly start and end the day. All you have to do is show up! And, since we are Tripadvisor’s #1-rated Inn/Bed and Breakfast in the U.S., we’ve designed all our Bourbon Trail tours to meet the same standards of luxury, personalized care and attention we know you expect.

2. Beyond Bourbon: More Than Just Bourbon Trail Tours

Some guests call our tours the “Beyond Bourbon” tours because they encompass so much more than just bourbon tasting.

Our 1-day Kentucky Bourbon Trail Tour offers the perfect mix of classic bourbon experiences plus flexibility. If two distillery tours and three bourbon tastings feel like too much of the same thing, you can swap one distillery visit for a thoroughbred horse farm tour. It’s ideal for guests who want a Bourbon Trail tour with bourbon tastings, a taste of Kentucky’s picturesque horse country, and a chance to meet some former and future horse racing champions. This flexibility to make substitutions means it’s one of the most customizable Bourbon Trail tours in Kentucky.

Our 2-day Kentucky Bourbon Trail Tour Plus is unlike anything offered on large group bus tours. It’s designed as a luxury Bourbon Trail tour, with a private driver, all meals included, a special gift at check-in, and exclusive shopping stops. This tour has maximum variety, starting with the regions you visit: one day in the Frankfort/Lexington area and the other in the Bardstown area. You’ll have distillery tours and bourbon tastings, stop at a thoroughbred horse racing farm, and even visit the candy factory where the bourbon ball was invented. You might eat on fine china at a country club one day, and eat with your hands the next day at an old fashioned BBQ spot. We’ll also reserve time for shopping, whether it’s in a distillery’s store or a special stop for that rare bottle of bourbon you can only buy in Kentucky.  For guests who are looking for the best Bourbon Trail tours, this two-day experience delivers unmatched variety without sacrificing depth in bourbon.

3. Every Detail Is Covered on our Bourbon Trail Tours

When you go on a Bourbon Trail tour from the Louisville Bourbon Inn, we don’t just hand you an itinerary and a map. We’ve won awards for quality and excellence, and we designed our Bourbon Trail tours to provide the same care and attention you expect at the inn. Each tour includes:

• A private driver who picks you up at the inn, gets you to each stop on time, and returns you safely to the inn.
• An expert bourbon tour guide. All of our drivers are experts on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and many have certifications from the Stave & Thief Society, the Council of Whiskey Masters, or the Kentucky Distillers’ Association.
• Breakfast at the inn, lunch on the tour, and a dinner gift card to make your day worry-free.
• Customizable stops, coordinated with our trusted partner, Travel the Trail Custom Bourbon Tours.

4. We’re Always Listening and Evolving to Create the Best Bourbon Trail Tours

We fine-tune our Bourbon Trail tours based on feedback from guests. Our two-day Bourbon Trail tour came about when we heard from several guests that a one-day tour wasn’t enough. Soon, you will see a “Girls Weekend” tour and stay package added to what we offer. That package also came to life based on feedback from guests. Stay tuned for even more themed itineraries we’re working on based on your suggestions and ideas. We are listening!

The Bottom Line

We believe we have some of the best Bourbon Trail tours in Kentucky. Anyone can get a bus and drive you around to a few distilleries. But if you want a private, all-inclusive Bourbon Trail tour that combines bourbon, Kentucky culture, gourmet meals, and the luxury of staying at the #1-rated inn in the United States, you’ll only find that here at the Louisville Bourbon Inn.
