Depart from
The Galt House
On 4th & Main, the Galt House is where guests come to experience, immerse and delight in Louisville’s winning spirit. No other hotel can grant guests access to the city like they can, from their central location in the heart of the business community, museum district, cultural center and Urban Bourbon Trail, to their unique waterfront location. Their status as the “official hotel” of all that matters makes them Louisville’s always-iconic hotel and ultimate lifestyle destination, reflective of Louisville’s energy, excitement and contemporary spirit.
Overlooking the waterfront from the heart of downtown, the Galt House® Hotel is a Legendary Louisville® hotel. In fact, they’re the largest hotel in Kentucky with a rich history that dates back to the 1800s. Today, their world-class hotel features 1,310 contemporary guest rooms and suites.
Frazier History Museum
Join us as we delve into the history of Bourbon with a special tour, talk, and tasting at the Frazier History Museum.
Founded in 2004 and located in the West Main District of downtown Louisville, the Frazier History Museum is where the world meets Kentucky. An affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, the Frazier documents stories from history using artifacts, exhibitions, and guided tours led by a talented staff of educators. With the opening of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail® Welcome Center and the Spirit of Kentucky® exhibition in 2018, the Frazier became the official starting point of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail®. As the host of many weddings, corporate parties, and exclusive events, the Frazier is a beautiful spot with many unique event spaces.
Woodford Reserve Distillery
Join us for a guided tour of our Distillery and historic location where you’ll explore all five sources of flavor from grain to glass. Finishing with a tasting of their award winning craft bourbons and whiskies you'll truly experience the Woodford Reserve difference. Woodford County is a place notable for its legacy of distilling the world’s best bourbon, for pure limestone-filtered water, and for a sense of natural beauty and peace. Through an awareness of place, Woodford Reserve expresses the values of its community, culture, and environment. We explore and build upon Kentucky’s heritage as we marry classic bourbon tradition and provenance with modern sophistication.
Goodwood Brewery
Goodwood Restaurants are currently located in Kentucky. In addition to barrel aged beers, you’ll find a long list of rotating drafts from our talented brewers including favorites such as our honey ale, blackberry sour and hazy ipa. A full bar is available including craft cocktails that feature popular Kentucky spirits such as Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve and Wheatley Vodka. The kitchen provides southern staples like Chicken and Waffles, Fried Green Tomatoes and a brisket topped burger.
Buffalo Trace Distillery
Enjoy a tasting experience with a sampling of Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Weller Special Reserve Bourbon, Wheatley Vodka, and a rotating sample of the day. Throughout the challenges of floods, fires, tornadoes and even Prohibition, the American family-owned Buffalo Trace Distillery has never compromised. A timeless dedication to respecting the past while fearlessly innovating for the future has served us well for more than two centuries. No matter the challenge, be it Mother Nature or man, the people of our Distillery have been part of the story that shaped America and the spirit industry as well.
