    Super cute and fun place. Atmosphere is quaint and country. Luke was an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable! It's a hidden gem in Leiper's Fork! Oh and the Porch Swing is so tasty and refreshing! We loved it all!

    Very nice small batch distillery making high end whiskeys. We had a tasting st the outdoor bar which on a nice day is a pleasant environment. I have one gripe, that for a high end boutique distillery making pricy whiskeys they give you plastic cups for your tasting pours, pretty low class imo. How about investing in some mini glencarin glasses like other distilleries in your league?

    Lovely relaxed vibe with very friendly people in a beautiful casual setting that invites you to stay a while and meet new people.

    A relatively new stop on the Tennessee Whiskey Trail, Leiper's Fork Distillery has been open for about 8 years. It's a lovely locale about 25 minutes away from downtown Franklin. With charming wooden architecture, including an antique wood tasting room relocated to the site, it's picturesque, with the requisite gift shop and tasting tours but also an outdoor bar area and multiple fire pits where they host events and where you can roll up with a picnic lunch and enjoy the scenery. Tours last 50 minutes, including their visiting production facility and the tasting. Can't do a full tasting and tour but want to sample the whiskey? They offer self-guided flights.

    My first stop on the Tennessee whiskey trail and I loved it! Our bartender was so fun and friendly. We did a flight and tried the frozen drink of the day, which seemed weird to get a frozen whiskey drink, but it was so good! We'll come back when in town again!

    Very fun environment inside downtown Franklin. Had a fun time with my husband. I had mixed drinks and he enjoyed the bourbon.

    What a great spot. Friends who live in the area took us here. He bought a bottle and we headed out back to sit, chat, and play cornhole... while listening to music. Don't miss it if you are in the area.

    Christmas decorations are out!

    I was here back in 2021 and enjoyed a flight. This time back I had their old fashioned cocktail. We sat outside by the fire pits and enjoyed each others company. An employee occasionally came over and added wood to our fire. All employees were so kind and accommodating. The spirits were all delicious and unique. We ended up taking home a bottle of the white whiskey.

    We arrived shortly after 4, hoping for a tour. The staff welcomed us as soon as we stepped onto the porch, asking if they could help us. The last tour of the day was already in progress, but they slipped us into the tour (it had begun shortly before. Charley was a rock star of a tour guide - knew the process, knew the product, connected to the history of place. Was lovely. This straightforward tour doesn't have you walking for miles, but simply taking in the inner workings of place. Learned all sorts of new. Very responsive to questions. Finished with a tasting, which was educational in and of itself. Likely affects how I enjoy my whiskey, bourbon and what not from now forward. Worth a stop. I had a favorite - the Tennessee Whiskey. Nice finish on it. My partner preferred the Bourbon but opted out of the tasting - which as I shared, changes how I'll taste it into the future. And don't bypass this reasonably priced, quaint store! Thanks to Charley, other staff and the fam. Well done!!

    Thank you for speaking at the Downtown Franklin Rotary Club! And thank you for giving back to our local community, you are simply awesome! If you are visiting Franklin or a local looking for a fun adventure take a short drive to Leiper's Fork and take a tour and sample some fine local whisky! Cheers

    We stopped by here and had a drink, enjoyed the live music and the comfy hammock chairs.

    Did not take the tour but did try a cocktail and the tasting flight. If you are not taking the tour, you can order drinks outside. There was live music happening and plenty of tables and seating throughout the property. The black cat featured on the logo is named Hemingway and she was sleeping on one of the tables. The attendant at the gift shop was also so welcoming and helpful!

    If you have some time, seriously consider the Day at Jack tour. An all-day, immersive experience…read moreinto the town of Lynchburg, its history and, of course, an in-depth look at the operation of the Jack Daniel's distillery. My wife and I just finished this tour and would recommend it without hesitation. Our day started at 10:35, when we met our tour guide, Justin, and the small group we'd be spending the day with. After a brief introduction and a quick photo, we boarded a shuttle bus and got a quick look at some historical Lynchburg landmarks. Then we enjoyed lunch at Miss Mary Bobo's Restaurant. It was family-style, southern fare, and simply outstanding. We walked through town to the distillery and enjoyed a fun, fascinating, super informative tour of how Jack is made, stored, bottled, the whole thing. This tour is the one opportunity for visitors to see the inside of one of the barrel storage facilities. The day ended with a tasting session, where we explored some of the finer points of a selection of Jack Daniel's whiskeys and their individual qualities and personalities. Plus everyone received a gift bag with a framed version of the photo taken earlier in the day, some chocolates, and a bottle of Miss Mary Bobo's Hot Sauce (which I had earlier on fried Okra and it was tremendous!). It was nearly 4 p.m. by the time we were done. So I meant when I said "if you have some time." And it costs a little more. But worth every penny and every minute of time. Extra shoutout to Justin who was knowledgeable and engaging and an all around good dude.

    We booked our trip with BOF when things seemed to be getting a little better despite the pandemic…read more As seasoned distillery tourists, my friend and I were excited to check out some places in TN while we were in town, but didn't want to have to worry about driving ourselves or ride sharing due to distance between places. When I found BOF I knew we'd be in good hands. We booked the 3 distilleries + winery option (best bang for our buck and best way to see multiple places). But as our trip drew closer, the restrictions on bars and places began to return. About a week prior to our visit, BOF alerted us that we either would have to do just 1 distillery and the winery or we could get a refund completely. Since this experience was part of the whole reason we chose Nashville, we decided to back down to just the 1 distillery option. The company was great about keeping in contact with us up until the day. We met the bus at the designated pick up location, got inside, introduced ourselves and then the door closed and the wheels started moving. We were shocked that they kept our reservation - we were in a party bus and it was just the two of us! We were told we could bring roadies (we opted for coffee because we're old and needed the mid-day pick-me-up) and the bus was stocked with water and snacks. Off we went to our distillery - Corsair. It was a very cool brick building, and our guide (I wish I could remember her name, so sorry) got us checked in. Since we were about 30 minutes early, we had time to explore the rest of the building/shops which was a bonus. After the fantastic tour and tasting, we re-boarded and began our drive to Arrington Winery. Although any $ spent at Arrington is not included in the cost of BOF, it was totally worth it to have them take us there. It is a bit of a hike and I wouldn't feel comfortable driving myself back to downtown after a visit there. We had about 1.5 hours at Arrington which was perfect for some tastings, a glass of frose and some snacks. Our driver was safe, and super nice. Since it was just the two of us, we asked if she could drop us off direct at our hotel (about 2 miles away from the determined location) and she did, which saved us an additional UBER ride, so thank you! I look forward to whenever everything opens back up and we can book another tour with them again to try out some new places!

    So happy to find Barrels of Fun!! We were just visiting Nashville for a few days and didn't want to…read morerent a car for the ride to Arrington Vineyards. Such a fun day, driver was super friendly and we met some great girls on the bus. The only thing I would recommend is that we could've maybe stayed a little longer...but it was enough for a bottle of wine! Also, I left my Quay sunglasses on the bus...they were kind enough to send them to MA for me :)
