Overview

The Bourbon Bites Tour
Reinventing the Bourbon Trail — Where History Is Told Through Bourbon

This is not just a distillery tour — it’s a journey through Kentucky’s living bourbon history, told one sip at a time.
We don’t simply visit places… we follow the story of bourbon itself: its origins, its legends, its rebirth, and its future.

At Bourbon Bites Tour, we are reinventing the Bourbon Trail and the way bourbon is experienced
Each experience is curated around three pillars of Kentucky bourbon:
• One iconic historic distillery that shaped the legacy
• One family-owned distillery where tradition is still alive
• One innovative craft distillery redefining what bourbon can be

Every route is designed to let you taste the evolution of bourbon, from old recipes and limestone water to bold new expressions born in modern stills.
Itineraries are personalized based on distillery access, availability, and guest preferences.
