A custom private Kentucky bourbon distillery tour isn’t just a different itinerary. It’s the difference between a great day and the day you’ve been picturing. Based in Louisville and serving groups from across the country, our tour coordinators build fully personalized Kentucky bourbon experiences from scratch whether you know exactly which distilleries you want or just know the feeling you’re after.
Building a custom bourbon tour with Sip Kentucky Bourbon Tours is less like planning a trip and more like telling a great travel advisor what you want. Here’s how it goes:
Submit a quick inquiry with your preferred distilleries, group size, date, and any special requests. Not sure yet? That’s fine — just tell us what kind of day you’re imagining and we’ll take it from there.
One of our tour coordinators will be in touch to talk through your options, answer any questions, and start building your itinerary. They know the state’s distilleries inside and out — including which ones are near each other, which pair well together, and which ones to save for a different visit.
Once we know what you want, we handle everything: distillery reservations, tickets, lunch, transportation, timing, and any special arrangements. You’ll see the full plan before anything is confirmed.
Every custom tour is private by design, built entirely around your group whoever they are and whatever the occasion.
The most requested occasion on the calendar. A full day of private tastings, a great lunch, and a Sprinter van your group has entirely to yourselves. No strangers. No shared tours. Just the crew.
Whether you’re rewarding your team or impressing clients in town for a conference, a private bourbon tour is the kind of outing people actually look forward to. Fully handled, fully private, entirely memorable.
A 50th birthday. A retirement after 30 years. A moment that deserves more than dinner and drinks. A custom tour is a full day your group will talk about for years.
A group of people who know what good bourbon tastes like and want to spend a day drinking it properly. We’ll build the itinerary around exactly what your group is most excited to explore.
Kentucky has more bourbon distilleries than any place on earth — from the iconic names everyone knows to the small-batch, off-the-beaten-path operations that most visitors never find. As an official Kentucky Bourbon Trail® Partner, our coordinators have access to and relationships with distilleries across the entire state.
Want to start with the classics — Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve, Four Roses? Done. Ready to dig deeper into the craft distillery scene in Bardstown or Frankfort? We know exactly where to take you. Have one distillery at the top of your list and want to build the day around it? Tell us.
