Kentucky’s winters are enchanting, particularly for fans of bourbon. From December to February, though temperatures drop, the Bourbon Trail™ welcomes visitors with its warm and inviting spirits and Southern Charm. It's particularly a great time for locals to enjoy the many area distilleries without the tourists!
Here are the top 5 reasons to book a bourbon tour today....
Fewer crowds: Winter is considered an off-season, meaning fewer tourists are present. This results in smaller, more relaxed tours, less competition for tour slots, and more availability for private tours.
Holiday festivities: Distilleries often get into the holiday spirit with special decorations, holiday-themed cocktails, and even events like "A Visit with Santa". This creates a festive atmosphere for your visit.
Exclusive winter releases: The colder months are a perfect time for distilleries to release special, limited-edition bourbons. This offers a unique opportunity to try unique spirits that may not be available at other times of the year.
Cozy and warm experience: The "Kentucky hug" of a sip of bourbon is particularly satisfying when it's chilly outside. The warmth of the drink provides a cozy contrast to the winter weather, making it a perfect indoor activity.
Pick up the perfect gift: Many distilleries have on-site gift shops that sell their spirits and other merchandise. Also, some places offer customized labels on bottles and more to make your gift even more special.
Whether you're a local or hosting friends or family from out of town, a bourbon distillery tour will be sure to make your holidays unforgettable.
