How a winery day runs with our driver
The wineries near Louisville sit in three different directions from downtown, so the 4-hour Transportation Only minimum fits two wineries on the same side of town better than three spread around it. Bullitt County is the easy pair: Forest Edge, Wight-Meyer and Crume Haven are all south of the city. Forest Edge also sits near the James B. Beam distillery in Clermont, so a group that wants one bourbon stop can book a private bourbon tour on another day and keep the winery day simple. Wight-Meyer closes Monday and Tuesday, so we check every winery’s hours against your date before you lock the plan. SUV for 1 to 6 guests, $100 an hour. Van for 7 to 14 guests, $150 an hour. 4-hour minimum, plus 6% KY sales tax and a 3% booking fee. Billing runs from the time our vehicle leaves our garage until it returns.
Pairing a winery day with a bourbon day
Most groups who ask about wineries are already in town for bourbon. The clean plan is two bookings on two days: a private bourbon tour, with distillery tickets included, and a Transportation Only day for the wineries. Keeping them apart keeps the winery day relaxed and the bourbon day on schedule. From a Louisville base, the Bullitt County wineries are the shortest drive, and Forest Edge sits near the James B. Beam distillery in Clermont. Talon's Shelbyville tasting room is in the same town as Bulleit and Jeptha Creed, so a Shelbyville-side bourbon day and an east-side winery day share the same roads. Send both plans together and we quote them together.

Do groups need a reservation at the wineries?
