Pops was so cool to hang out with and learn from. The White Rye Whiskey is the best I've had!

A must visit if you are in the Nashville area. Be educated on the whiskey distillery business and funny at the same time. Tasting session is the highlight. read more

Enjoyed the tour. Also purchased two bourbon barrel rocking chairs. Great place to take friends and family from out of town. read more

I cannot say enough great things about this facility or the people who manage it. We visited this past weekend with family, and had a wonderful time. Pops was our tour guide, and he is such a kind, funny and welcoming person. The tour was engaging and entertaining from start to finish. After we toured the Distillery, Pops showed us how to sniff & taste Whiskey (note: I don't even like Whiskey and I enjoyed it). After the tasting we enjoyed a beverage on the patio and listened to live music. We will absolutely be back - it was a remarkable experience. PS: Pops, if you're reading this... don't forget you adopted another grand daughter from Pittsburgh! ;) read more

This was our first distillery experience, and we can honestly say this will not be our last! From the moment we stepped on the property, we were greeted with friendly smiles and a friendly hello! Our tour guide, Matt, was friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable. The other staff members were extremely kind and welcoming as well! The whiskey was delicious, and the tasting at the end made it seem like you were sipping with close friends and family. The facility was clean, had picnic tables, and cornhole. Such a wonderful area to take beautiful pictures to remind yourself of your time there. This is definitely a must see if you are ever in the Nashville, Franklin area! read more

Leiper's Fork Distillery - Husband and I in the distillery house! - Distilleries Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Beautiful grounds and buildings. John, our tour guide, was informative, witty, and friendly. Great sense of humor! John was very patient as we milled about snapping photos. We didn't miss a word he said, as he waited until the entire group had every photo they wanted. The sampling was fun and the drive to the distillery was stunning. Would recommend! read more

We had friends visiting from out of state, and they wanted to try some local Tennessee whiskey & see where it's made. We went to Leiper's Fork Distillery for a tour and a tasting, and everything was just perfect! The barn/land are BEAUTIFUL. The tour guide is hilarious, and gave a toast that brought us to tears! The tour was short, sweet, and informative. The whiskey was amazing. A memorable experience... all for $10. read more

Fantastic tour!! Great to meet the 3 Matthews who work at Leiper's Fork Distillery!!! Our amazing tour guide Pops made the experience truly memorable. His enthusiasm, humor and knowledge were truly one of a kind! Thanks Pops for taking my son and I on your tour. We very much enjoyed it!! read more

My wife and I had a staycation in Franklin and decided to visit the Leiper's Fork Distillery. Neither one of us are big whiskey drinkers but we thought it might be fun and was it ever. From the minute we walked in it was a great experience. All the staff were super friendly and POPS the tour guide is awesome. Full of knowledge and funny as could be. We walked away with a new appreciation for Tennessee Whiskey. A must visit for sure. read more

A beautiful drive and amazing distillery. Everyone inside was so helpful and nice, we ended up buying lots of souvenirs to take home and can't wait to see what they have new next time I'm in town. The bottles are all hand labeled with batch #, bottle# and a signature. They were about to close so we were able to get a drink from Emily out front and they were amazing. It was a white whiskey slushy and a spiked Arnold Palmer! Emily seen us pull up and waited to serve us even though it was closing time. A must stop when you're in Nashville. The drive is so worth is there's a confederate museum on the way and a few cute little restaurants. The staff made the visit, thanks guys! read more

A highlight of my trip to Nashville amazing whiskey and very informative and fun tour!

LOVED this stop! Our group had an amazing visit to Leiper's Fork-we've been talking about it ever since! We were traveling in Nashville from California and decided a distillery tour was a must. We pulled into Leiper's Fork and immediately knew we made the right choice. Lee, the master distiller, was our tour guide and took his time to explain the incredible process of making whiskey...I had no idea how complex it is! We met the dog and cats, peeked in the giant barrels and I even got to bottle my own bourbon whiskey (Hunter's Select Barrel) which was one of many highlights! After the tour, Lee took us inside for the tasting which was also a wonderful experience. Our pourer was engaging, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Even though she's a Kentucky fan and I'm a Kansas fan, we bonded over kindness and whiskey. :) I absolutely recommend this place to any and everyone who is nearby or traveling through. The facilities are as beautiful as the people. Thank you to all of you who interacted with us that day-we talk about you still. Best to you on your exciting future! read more

Being from Southern California, we had a blast driving to Franklin from Nashville just to go to this location. Out by itself, away from the big city, it's a beautiful drive. Matt was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable, funny and easy on the eyes. Go Ladies! You won't be disappointed. Being a Texas Tech alumni, I felt bad for him, for about a minute, when he said he was from Michigan State. (Final Four reference 2019). Wreck 'Em Tech. read more

Took the distillery tour on Fathers Day. I was surprised to Learn the tour cost was half off for fathers and they served a complementary drink. Great tour and nice story of the distillery. read more

For beginners or novels this is a good one to start. If you have been to the Whistlepig Tasting Room, or closer to home such as Chattanooga Whiskey or Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, you know this is a high school team competing with majors. I won't disparage their work, but for me, I wish I had passed it by. If you are going because it is near give it a try, but I recommend using your money for a bottle of Elijah Craig, Angels Envy or Monkey Shoulder. I expect you will get more value. read more

What a wonderful place ! We took the tour with Matt and it was so informative and he is killer funny. You will end up being FRIENDS AND FAMILY! Oh, and the Tennessee Whiskey/Bourbon is really good! read more

We enjoyed every minute of it ! read more

Everyone who greeted us as we stepped inside the retail area of the beautifully restored barn was so friendly. Matthew was energetic and engaging and very knowledgeable as he took us on a tour of the distillery and then into the tasting room for delicious samplings and a whiskey-tasting tutorial. We learned so much and so appreciated all the personal attention to every question. And we gladly bought a bottle of their Tennessee Whiskey!! Great experience! read more

We even met the owner. read more

A wonderful experience from start to finish. Everyone is super nice and hospitable. The place is beautiful our guide was great!!!

Part of me hesitates to share this with the world but what a hidden gem! We enjoyed our tour here so much-we're planning to come back with friends. Pops was our tour guide & I don't remember the last time I enjoyed listening to a stranger tell story after story-so knowledgeable & personable. Oh, and yes-the whiskey IS great! But so is everything else. Great start to our weekend in Leiper's Fork. Can't wait to come back. read more

Excellent crew of passionate people! I've been twice and had two different tour guides.

We loved our visit to the distillery. We went on a tour and the guide was amazing. We learned so much and you really get a feel for how much they love their business. The buildings are really gorgeous and the grounds are also beautiful. We had a great time drinking and listening to live music on the porch. They have tons of seating and cute rocking chairs everywhere. Great for groups. It was very peaceful and relaxing. I'd definitely make this one of your to-dos on a trip to Nashville. I now know how to properly taste whiskey! read more

Pops was the best part of the tour. He is not only entertaining with his witty humor and funny stories but he's so knowledgeable about their products. He had me laughing, smiling and almost brought me to tears with the story of his grandfather. It was a great little tour and a nice thing to do out in beautiful Lieper's Fork! The Gift shop was full of t-shirts and other fun items at a reasonable price! Do yourself a favor and book a tour soon! read more
