Customized Kentucky Bourbon Trail ® tours are pre-planned, private experiences where a tour company or your own guide handles all the logistics, such as booking distillery tours and tastings, providing luxury transportation, and suggesting dining options to create a personalized itinerary. You choose the distilleries, the pace, and other preferences, working with the company's planning team who handles the bookings and timing so you can relax and enjoy the experience.
How a Customized Tour Works
Planning & Consultation:
You contact a tour operator specializing in custom tours. You'll work with their team to discuss your interests, the distilleries you want to visit, your budget, and any other goals for the trip.
Itinerary Design:
The operator designs a personalized itinerary based on your choices. This includes selecting specific distilleries, deciding on the length of the tours, and mapping out the route.
NOTE: Most distilleries are geographically spread out so only 2-3 distilleries are able to be visited in one day.
Booking & Reservations:
The tour company handles all the arrangements, including:
Distillery Tours & Tastings: Securing your reserved spots at the chosen distilleries.
Transportation & Guide: On the day of your tour, you'll be picked up in a private vehicle, which is normally stocked with drinks and snacks and serves as your comfortable transportation for the day. Your private guide will provide bourbon knowledge and ensure the schedule runs smoothly.
Meals: Incorporating reservations for lunch at preselected locations.
The Experience: You get to enjoy your day without the stress of booking or managing logistics. The focus is on experiencing the Bourbon Trail™ your way, exploring distilleries and tasting bourbon at your own pace.
Benefits of a Customized Tour
Personalization: Participants are able to select distilleries, set the pace, and choose activities.
Convenience: A dedicated planning team handles all bookings and logistics. You simply enjoy the ride and the bourbon!
Luxury Transportation: You travel in comfort with private, climate-controlled transportation.
Exclusive Experience: You can discover hidden gems and avoid the crowds of large group tours.
Flexibility: Tours can be tailored for special occasions like birthdays or corporate events.
Conclusion
You might be tempted to plan your own tour. However, bourbon tastings involve alcohol...so a designated driver will be necessary which means one of your group won't be drinking. Also, because some distilleries are remote and in the country, you'll need to know how to get around.
