Others want the smaller distilleries: Willett, Preservation, Castle and Key. Every tour we build is designed around what your group actually wants to visit."

A private bourbon tour is a distillery tour booked exclusively for your group, never combined with strangers. With BourbonTown Tours, you pick the distilleries, and a dedicated guide and driver handle the itinerary, transportation, and tastings so you can focus on the bourbon. Every tour is custom-built there are no fixed routes or shared vans.
Private bourbon tours with BourbonTown Tours start at $275 per person, with most custom full-day tours running $275 to $425 per person depending on group size, distilleries, and day length. That rate covers your distillery tour tickets, tasting fees, private vehicle, guide, and a confirmed lunch reservation. Your restaurant tab is on you, or we build a pre-ordered box lunch into your quoted price.
You can visit any distilleries across Kentucky’s bourbon country, including Buffalo Trace, Maker’s Mark, Woodford Reserve, Four Roses, Heaven Hill, Jim Beam, Willett, Castle & Key, and more. BourbonTown Tours builds your itinerary around the distilleries you want, grouped by region so the day flows logically.
Book your bourbon tour at least two to four weeks in advance, and earlier for weekends, holidays, and Derby season. Popular distilleries like Buffalo Trace and Maker’s Mark release limited tour tickets that sell out quickly, so booking early gives you the best choice of distilleries and times.
Yes. Every BourbonTown Tours experience includes private transportation in luxury SUVs or Sprinter vans with a professional driver. You never drive, never navigate, and never worry about getting between distilleries – the driving is fully handled.
Most full-day bourbon tours visit three to four distilleries, which balances tour time, tastings, lunch, and travel between campuses. The exact number depends on the distilleries’ locations and tour lengths; your guide builds a realistic itinerary so the day never feels rushed.
