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 ranging from $275 to $425 per person depending on group size, distilleries, and inclusions. Transportation, expert guiding, and distillery logistics are included; distillery tour tickets and tastings are typically additional and arranged for you.
You can visit any distilleries on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, 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.
