These are crazy days we are living through, and for many people who rely on Bourbon tourism in the state of Kentucky, the future is uncertain. But we have been so inspired by how the world seems to be banding together to help each other through these times, and we wanted to give you some ways to help before we can welcome you back.
Below are our suggestions by region for how you can help to support our industry partners whether you’re local to the area or not. For those of who had to cancel their trip to Kentucky, we encourage you to go ahead and reschedule by booking your hotels and transportation and by purchasing gift cards from the restaurants and attractions you were planning to visit. This revenue will be incredibly important to keep these businesses afloat.
Keep in mind that many of our distilleries are open for curbside or carry out bottle sales only. Please check social media or call to learn how you can support a distillery in your area.
We will get through this #TogetherKY! #TeamKentucky
