Distillery Hopping Benefits

Sub in wineries or breweries

Transportation-Only Frequently Asked Questions

What are our pickup options?

We offer free pickup in the Greater Louisville area for all transportation options. We also offer free pickup in the Frankfort region for Frankfort tours, and in Bardstown region for Bardstown tours. Additional pickup and region to region trips may result in additional mileage and pickup charges. If you have a request, just ask and we’ll see what we can do!

Could I add a bourbon tour to my distillery hopping day?

Sure you can. Some folks like to book one tour at a bucket list place, then distillery hop and see places at their own pace. If you’re interested in doing this, let us know! We can look into options for you.

What is the best place to distillery hop?

We think that the Louisville area is absolutely the best place to distillery hop due to the amount of places you can visit. You also don’t have to use your service hours driving an hour + each way! Frankfort is a close second with Bardstown in third.

Can I sub in a brewery or winery to my tour day?

Absolutely! We can go anywhere you’d like during your service hours, so long as it (mostly) makes sense logistically.

Do we pay for our own drinks and tastings on a distillery hopping day?

Yes you do. If you’re interested in us covering flights or tastings for you, please consider one of our pick-3 or custom tour days.

How far in advance should I book?

This really depends. Some folks book their bourbon tours months in advance, some do it the week of. If we aren’t fully booked, we do accept last minute bookings as early as the day prior.

What are the lunch options?

Lunch is completely up to your group and is paid out of pocket. In each region, there are a number of quick options and sit down spots. The nice thing is, you have more time on distillery hopping days than a standard tour day, so your group may be able to justify a longer lunch.

Can I mix and match regions?

We’re okay to split the day distillery hopping in Louisville and another destination, like Frankfort or Louisville. But, going from Louisville to Bardstown, to Frankfort, etc. puts a lot of stress on our vehicles and typically is not an enjoyable day. There may be additional milage charges for a day like this.

Can we enjoy alcoholic beverages in your vehicles?

Yep! But please drink responsibly.
