But here's a tip: the secret to a truly unforgettable trip? Smart planning and safe, reliable transportation with Good Vibes Transportation.
Step 1: Pick Distilleries That Match Your Vibe
From big names to hidden gems, Kentucky offers a wide variety of distillery experiences. Here are a few standout stops to consider:
Heaven Hill® – Based in Bardstown, this family-owned giant offers deep history and an impressive tasting bar at the Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience®.
Four Roses® – Known for its distinctive Spanish Mission-style architecture and mellow, floral bourbon, this Lawrenceburg staple is a fan favorite.
Wilderness Trail® – A newer addition to the scene in Danville, Wilderness Trail® has quickly gained recognition for its grain-to-glass craftsmanship.
Bardstown Bourbon Company® – Sleek and modern, this distillery combines innovation with tradition and offers one of the best on-site restaurants on the trail.
Lux Row® – Also in Bardstown, Lux Row® offers a laid-back vibe with big-name bourbons like Ezra Brooks®, Rebel®, and Daviess County®.
Each of these distilleries brings its own personality and flavor profile—perfect for customizing a tour that suits your style.
Step 2: Reserve Tours & Tastings Early
Most distilleries require reservations, especially during spring, fall, and major bourbon events. Look for specialty tours, VIP tastings, or cocktail experiences that offer something extra.
Pro tip: Plan for 2–3 distilleries per day to avoid burnout and leave space to enjoy meals, gift shops, and local charm.
