Overview

Discover Kentucky through three places with very different characters. Begin in lively Louisville, continue into the heart of bourbon country at Bardstown and finish among the elegant horse farms and historic streets of Lexington. The driving is deliberately easy, leaving time for tastings, food, music and Bluegrass scenery. Because bourbon and driving never belong together, guided and chauffeured tasting experiences can be added to the journey.
