Sipping in the South was born from a bold idea: bourbon deserves more than a bus ride, a stamp in a book, and a cookie-cutter, self-guided checklist.
This tour is everything The Kentucky Bourbon Trail® isn't. Raw, Real and Straight from the Barrel
We book three hand-picked distilleries, where you'll drink bourbon the way it was meant to be enjoyed: pulled straight from the barrel in true Kentucky Fashion.
Every tour begins with our Bourbon 101 Social an interactive, hands-on introduction to nosing and sipping that gives you the tools to truly enjoy what you’re tasting. Because when you understand bourbon, everything else gets better.
Then we wind down the day with cigars, fire pits and plenty of good bourbon. It's not just a tour, it's a full-on bourbon country experience, crafted for those who want something more authentic, and more memorable than a self-guided, cookie cutter tasting trail.
...and YES, we even save 30 minutes for rare finds at local liquor stores.
