01

Bourbon Distilleries

Kentucky’s bourbon heritage runs just as deep as its thoroughbred legacy. Visit historic distilleries, walk through aging rickhouses filled with decades of craftsmanship, and experience firsthand why Kentucky produces more than 95% of the world’s bourbon. From legendary brands that helped define the industry to innovative modern producers carrying the tradition forward, each stop offers a unique look into the people, history, and process behind America’s native spirit. When availability allows, we can build your day around some of Kentucky’s most sought-after distillery experiences.

02

Thoroughbred 
Farms

Kentucky’s thoroughbred heritage runs just as deep as its bourbon. Visit working horse farms, walk through historic stables, and witness firsthand why the state has produced more Kentucky Derby winners than anywhere else on earth. When the racing calendar allows, we can build a day around the track itself.

03

Whether that means combining bourbon distilleries and horse farms, adding wineries, local dining, historic attractions, sporting events, or hidden gems off the beaten path, we'll design a day that reflects exactly what you want to experience. Every itinerary is thoughtfully crafted, professionally coordinated, and tailored exclusively for your group.
