Travel Off the Beaten Path

Time: At Least 5 Days

There’s an adventure for everyone in all 4 regions of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour^®. Every stop takes you deeper than ever before into the unrivaled craftsmanship of Kentucky’s Bourbon and distilling heritage. Take in rolling hills, bluegrass fields, vibrant cityscapes and the heart of horse country to make the journey between distilleries as memorable as the spirits that brought you here.
