Bardstown Distillery Tours, Options, & Lists

Welcome to Bardstown, KY - the bourbon capital of the world! The city of Bardstown has more bourbon barrels than people, and more bourbon stops than you can visit in a day. On a Bardstown Distillery Tour day, you can visit legacy distilleries, such as Jim Beam, Heaven Hill, and Maker's Mark. There are also distilleries off the beaten path, as well as craft distilleries. So whether you want to spend time in a historic downtown setting, or want to head out to sip bourbon in the country, we highly suggest getting out here!

Bardstown Distillery Tour FAQs & Additional Info

Do You Need a Reservation to Visit a Bardstown Distillery?

Nope! Each of the distilleries has a gift shop at the very least, and most of them have a bar where you can order cocktails or sample bourbon. You do, of course, need a reservation if you want to go behind the scenes to look at production and would want to purchase a guided tasting for a more hands-on tasting experience. Experiences like these do fill up in peak season, but don't let that deter you from visiting!

Where to Stay for a Bardstown Bourbon Tour?

There are some really nice airbnbs and a few solid chain hotels in the Bardstown area. We're big fans of the old Talbott Inn, though it's a bit dated. A lot of bourbon tourists choose to stay in Louisville due to its accessibility, airport, accommodations, and nightlife. But, it is nice to stay in Bardstown if you'd like to get out of the city and experience a bit more small-town hospitality.

What Are Some Other Must-Do Experience in the Bardstown Area?

Bardstown is pretty small, but mighty! You'll find plenty of evening happenings with music, dinner and drink pairings, and the sort. The Bardstown Dinner train is really neat and worth doing. There is a really nice golf course, a few museums, and My Old Kentucky Home State Park. Downtown is great, too! We love visiting downtown and visiting the shops, grabbing a soda at the corner drug store, and seeing the Old Talbott Inn, the once-famous stagecoach stop to the new Western Territory.

How Many Distilleries Can I visit in a day?

Good questions! The distilleries in Bardstown are a little spread out, so you can still spend a few hours driving between them, even without a tour. On a normal touring day, plan on 3. If you are distillery hopping, we can visit 5-7 distilleries easily! But unlike some 3-and-done tour companies, if we have time during your service hours, we can always add another stop. We'll keep you out from the time the distilleries open until they close!

What are the Pickup Options?

We offer free pickup and dropoff in Louisville or Bardstown for any Bardstown bourbon tour package. Pickup outside of these area could result in additional milage and fee charges, but please reach out for special requests!
