How far in advance of our visit should we book our tour with you?
At least three months ahead of when you plan to visit, is recommended. This gives you a better chance to secure admissions at all of the distilleries on your wish list. Kentucky Derby Week is always the busiest, therefore we recommend booking as soon as possible.

Can we take pictures?

You’re allowed to bring a small cooler in the tour van. We keep a cooler filled with water bottles. Water bottles are allowed on most distillery tours, but open containers are not allowed.

YES! Most distilleries now ask to see a driver’s license for each guest. Active duty military and veterans may show ID for discounts at some distilleries.
Can I smoke? Is an e-cig okay?
Some distilleries provide a designated smoking area, but many are non-smoking facilities. If unsure, ask.

For groups of 1-14, you’ll be in one of our raised roof vans or in a full-size SUV.
Can I get a cocktail or bourbon drink at the distillery?
Many distilleries have opened cocktail bars with limited options for guests. If you would like to allow time to make this part of your tour experience, let us know when booking.
Where will we have lunch?
We recommend locally owned Kentucky restaurants for our custom tours, that serve great food. Let us know if you have food restrictions, allergies, require vegetarian or vegan options, etc.
Can I bring my kids along?
Kids are welcome to come along, as long as the distilleries you are visiting allow it. Call and ask our booking team about distilleries that are kid-friendly!
Can I bring my service animal along?
Service animals are allowed in the vehicle, however some distilleries may not allow them on the distillery tours. It is best to ask first.
