What a time. Let me first say this: ask for the tour guide named Eric. He was amazing. Very knowledgeable, approachable with questions, flexible with time, funny. Just an all around wonderful guy who made the experience even better. The actual tour was great as well. Very insightful and tasty bourbon. All in all just a great day. But again- ask for Eric. He's the best

Four Roses Distillery

What a fun day! We were picked up right on schedule and had a very memorable experience. John, our guide/driver, was fun, professional, and very informative. I highly recommend this outstanding little company for anyone interested in enjoying the "Bourbon Trail" experience. Well done!

We had the BEST day w Gary! He knew exactly where to take us for the full experience in Louisville bourbon-distillery history, as well as cultural must-sees elsewhere in the city. His service was laidback, knowledgable yet friendly. Recommend hitting him up for anyone, who wants a fun day in Louisville with bourbon.

I'd give Sharon and Bourbon Excursions 10 stars if the rating scale reached that high. From the start, she put my three compadres and I at ease when she said, "Nothing you can say or do will offend me." She recalled a time when a tour customer lost his pants. At our worst, that we can remember anyway, we all dozed off during a ride to the next distillery. Sharon primed us for tours of the James E. Pepper, Buffalo Trace and Whiskey Thief sites -- and even added a stop at the Bulleit gift shop. We worked in an easy lunch, walking distance from one of the distilleries. It was reasonably priced to boot. By tour's end, we wanted Sharon to join us for a "slushy" while listening to music and watching other tourists having a blast, but she stuck to her Coca Cola. If her guiding and driving weren't enough service, the photos she shot and shared with us were great. They recorded all four of us together. If you're not having the presence of mind to shoot selfies, (we weren') those group shots can be as priceless as the experience itself. Cheers to Sharon and Bourbon Excursions!

Unscheduled stop to get upclose and personal with Thourghbreds!

Tour Guide Mark Owen's is very knowledgeable! The tour was well planned and Mark gave us the low down on each distillery.

Ask the Community - Bourbon Excursions

What is the average cost to have a tour for 6-10 people?

Hi Nancy, The cost for a private tour can vary depending on where you wish to visit, what experience you want there, and even when you want to visit. However, with a group of 6-10, it will usually be around $269 per person. Give us a call and talk…

What a wild disappointment. I do believe we came on and an off day, based on reviews and…read morerecommendations from friends, but our experience was so wildly unacceptable that I'm not sure it matters if we were an outlier. Our experience started at parking, there were multiple tour busses idling in the lot, and cars were parked rather haphazardly. We were directed to park on the side of the road with such a steep drop off, at one point our Yukon had two wheels off the ground. When checking in to the the $35/person tour (which we booked two weeks ago) I mentioned the parking situation and was told "yeah it's really bad, but we're working on it." I don't own a distillery, but seems an obvious solve is asking the tour buses to park up the road by the gift shop vs taking up space in the lot. We were eager to join our tour and forget about the stressful lot but alas, our tour was an absolute shit show. I stopped counting when I hit to 50 people, our tour guide had a loud speaker, most people in the tour were drunk and talking over him, and for the first time in many many tours, we walked off before we ever got a chance to try anything. There is no reason but greed to not cap a tour, they were making close to 2 grand off a miserable experience for their guests. Again, I do think it was likely an outlier but we will never be back, and I will ensure no one I know ever goes either.

We love city tours. Walking tours, bike tours, food tours, bus tours. With limited time in a city,…read morethey're a great way to get a feel for the area and to pick out places you'd like to revisit. Heck, we've even taken tours in our own city! Very fun. This tour was no exception. We had a very enjoyable afternoon, got to see a lot of different things, learn a bit about the history of Louisville, and try some delicious foods. The format of this tour is as such: the bus drops you off at a location for 30-60 minutes, giving you time to explore while City Taste runs off to pick up food from a local eatery. When you get back on the bus, there's a taste (and a drink) to be eaten as you drive on to the next stop. The benefit of this is that you get to experience AND taste bits of Louisville, instead of one or the other. The drawback is that there is sometimes a bit of waiting around for the bus to return. On our tour, we stopped at Schimpffs candy shop, Churchill Downs (where we took a tour), Old Louisville, Louisville Slugger OR NULU (we were given an option), and the Belle of Louisville. Our favorite stop was Old Louisville by far. What a BEAUTIFUL area with such rich history! The food we had was fried green tomatoes, hush puppies, hot brown pizza, pulled pork and potato salad, and Derby Pie. All were delicious, but the particular favorites were the hush puppies and the hot brown pizza. Alongside came a variety of drinks... we weren't huge fans of the flavored beers and wines (vanilla, strawberry, etc.) but we liked the bourbon tastings, the bourbon coffee, and the mint julep at the end. For reference, the food quantity was enough to keep us mostly satisfied but not amounting to a full meal replacement. I wouldn't eat a huge lunch before you go, but I also wouldn't show up hungry. City Taste Tours was extremely accommodating and gracious to our family. I realize these tours aren't geared toward kids specifically, but they went out of their way to make it enjoyable for everyone on board. If you're looking for a tour that's a bit of everything, a "taste" of all tours, this is the one for you. It's quirky, fun, and a great way to spend an afternoon in Louisville. **One last thing I'd mention: we booked a private tour, mostly because we just didn't want to take away from anyone else's experience by bringing 6 kids along. We were surprised to find out after being picked up that the bus was picking up other riders as well. It honestly worked out TOTALLY fine - it was a great couple that came along with us - but I just mention this to warn someone who actually cares a lot about it being a private tour... you might want to double check that they don't somehow overlook your private reservation and add extra people to your group.

When you think Kentucky, "it bourbon you think of."…read more Without a doubt this establishment is a must go. If you do the bourbon tour it's the first stop. You will learn so much. The climate and culture dating back to the 1800s still runs through the city today. The company that operates Angels Envy is Louisville Distilling Co. The founder was Lincoln Henderson. This gentleman went to college right here in Louisville and after forty plus years of working in a distillery worked his way to the top as master distiller. His own brews are pretty good too. How about Jack Daniel's Gentleman's Jack. That was Mr. Henderson. The building that Angels Envy occupies was occupied prior by American Elevator and Machine and American Saw. Later it existed as Vermont American Complex, then it was abandoned. The site was deteriorated but became the place where in 2010 revival. The Henderson family and Louisville Distilling Co made their permanent presence. They invested in the surrounding area too. They made a massive complex when you visit . Now come and visit today. Learn the basics of how the Henderson family double distills their Angels Envy in a wine cast barrel after aging. Taste the quality of their legacy that will establish and endure the ages. Although the legacy lives on forever in this family and their double mystery their dad left, the story continues. Plan your visit today .

The owners provide the standard wine options and couple them with fun sweeter mixes - for example, peanut butter wine and moscato with cotton candy. For the standard menu, I enjoyed the Malbec. Purchase flights, glasses, and bottles. Some snacks are available - and even better, you can bring in your own. A rental space that holds 88 people seated is a great spot for private celebrations. You are able to bring in your own food/catering. Appreciated the warm welcome from the owner and hearing their back story as well as the grape origin of a few of the blends. I'm excited to return! I've already messaged friends and family to share pictures and say "let's come back together".

From the looks of this place I believe it might've been an old church at some point. There is parking off to the side of the building and entrance to the winery is in the back and the venue is in the front. They were busy when I got there so it did take some time not a lot of time to be waited on. The host was very wonderful with my selections and even asked what were my favorites. I liked PB&J, Cotton Candy, melon flavored. They were all actually pretty good. I wish I knew more about the place but, I was by myself vs. being with a group. I would love to learn more about RH and if they make their own Wine here. I have no complaints on this visit, I would love to know more about the winery and the wines. I do plan on returning.
