Be prepared ahead of time by getting a bottle of water and using a bathroom in Georgetown downtown beforehand. Tour was over an hour long. Don't let that discourage you, I had an incredible time! Arrived 5 minute drive outside of Downtown and parking is in the Lawn. Extremely impressive Greek Revival Mansion - took my breath away Architecture wise. My husband and I thought we would see if there were any tours available and there was nothing scheduled. Basically when you arrive some one will immediately take you on Tour which was nice. Tour Guide was very lovely and was very knowledgeable. I fell inlove with the ornate plaster moldings and medallions.

The food we ate at each stop was delicious, however, the portions were so small, leaving all of us hungry by the end (which hasn't been my experience on other food tours). I would recommend this tour if you're looking for small plates/snacks to learn about local restaurants, but not if you're looking for dinner.

Bill was knowledgeable, timely, and overall just the man! He took pictures the whole time so we never had to worry about that. He had lots of interesting historical context to the bourbon industry and Lexington in general. We went to 5 well known distilleries and then a smaller one named Larrikin all in around 8 hours and feel like that was about the perfect amount of time to browse and sample. If you go to Larrikin you need to try their maple bourbon cream. It's unbelievable. Their bourbon and gin are also excellent. Halfway through the tour we stopped at a bbq spot to refuel.
