Frequently Asked Questions

A private bourbon tour is a distillery tour booked exclusively for your group, never combined with strangers. With BourbonTown Tours, you pick the distilleries, and a dedicated guide and driver handle the itinerary, transportation, and tastings so you can focus on the bourbon. Every tour is custom-built there are no fixed routes or shared vans.

Private bourbon tours with BourbonTown Tours start at $275 per person, with most custom full-day tours ranging from $275 to $425 per person depending on group size, distilleries, and inclusions. Transportation, expert guiding, and distillery logistics are included; distillery tour tickets and tastings are typically additional and arranged for you.

You can visit any distilleries across Kentucky’s bourbon country, including Buffalo Trace, Maker’s Mark, Woodford Reserve, Four Roses, Heaven Hill, Jim Beam, Willett, Castle & Key, and more. BourbonTown Tours builds your itinerary around the distilleries you want, grouped by region so the day flows logically.

Book your bourbon tour at least two to four weeks in advance, and earlier for weekends, holidays, and Derby season. Popular distilleries like Buffalo Trace and Maker’s Mark release limited tour tickets that sell out quickly, so booking early gives you the best choice of distilleries and times.

Yes. Every BourbonTown Tours experience includes private transportation in luxury SUVs or Sprinter vans with a professional driver. You never drive, never navigate, and never worry about getting between distilleries – the driving is fully handled.

Most full-day bourbon tours visit three to four distilleries, which balances tour time, tastings, lunch, and travel between campuses. The exact number depends on the distilleries’ locations and tour lengths; your guide builds a realistic itinerary so the day never feels rushed.

Yes. Private bourbon tours are ideal for groups: bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthdays, anniversaries, corporate outings, and friend trips. Because the tour is private, the whole group stays together with one guide and one vehicle, and the itinerary is built around your group’s pace and interests.

Bourbon Trail Tour BourbonTown Tours was exceptional in helping put together an amazing private bourbon trail trip for me and my soon to be son-in-law. The planning was seamless with Ben’s assistance and the actual trip by our private driver/tour guide (Alison) was amazing! We both had an exceptional time and would highly recommend BourbonTown Tours to everyone!

The Best Bourbon Trail Tour! We had the best time on our first Bourbon Trail Tour! Ron put together a great 2-day itinerary. Our drivers, Jason and Kirk, were very knowledgeable about the Bourbon industry, the area, and the distillery families. We will definitely return to the Bourbon Trail, and we will plan our trip with BourbonTown Tours again. Highly recommend!

Great Experience with BourbonTown Tours We booked our 2 day bourbon trail transportation through BourbonTown Tours and couldn't have been happier with our experience. Our driver, Preston, was great. He was very knowledgeable about the distilleries and bourbon in general. He provided insights and recommendations during our trip resulting in 2 unplanned distillery visits that we really enjoyed. He even gave me a few book recommendations. I highly recommend Preston and BourbonTown Tours. Mark S

10/10 Recommend This is our second tour with Preston and Bourbontown Tours. We loved both of them. He tailored the day and tours to our preference and through in a few that we loved. Hanging out with Preston is like hanging out with your best buddy. He has insight into the bourbon industry and is well versed in Bardstown, Louisville and further out. We have zero qualms recommending Bourbontown Tours! It’s so nice to have a knowledgeable designated driver who keeps you on your schedule and takes you to the best spots. Trust his expertise on where to go and when!
