Tennessee Whiskey Experience: Bus Tour with 11+ Whiskey Tastings
Description
The Tennessee Whiskey Experience is your chance to go beyond the big names and explore the heart of the state’s craft distilling scene. This small-group tour visits three award-winning, locally loved distilleries, each offering a different take on Tennessee spirits — including whiskey, bourbon, and other spirits. You’ll enjoy guided tastings at each stop, transportation in a comfortable tour vehicle, and insights from a local guide who knows their whiskey and the region’s history. Along the way, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how Tennessee whiskey is made — from grain to glass — in places most tourists don’t discover on their own. This is a great choice for guests looking for something authentic, relaxed, and off the beaten path. Whether you’re a whiskey connoisseur or just curious to try something new, this tour gives you a full taste of what Tennessee spirits are all about — without having to worry about a single detail.

Great trip and first Whiskey Tour. It was a great experience with lots of history. Thanks to the great driver. Beautiful scenery from one stop to the next

We booked the public whiskey tour and had a wonderful time.
We are glad you enjoyed yourself! Thank you for booking with us.
Very nice. Last stop was a little rushed because traffic delayed us but over all B+ experience. The Company and Leiper’s Fork were great!
Thank you for booking with us, and for sharing your thoughts. We are glad that you found it to be an overall enjoyable experience.
Great timing between each stop! Every stop had a nice touch! Let us see a little bit of the back country that we wouldn't have otherwise. Exactly what we needed for a saturday activity!
Thank you for the great review! Glad you enjoyed all the stops on the tour.
Tour company didn't have enough people interested in this tour, so they switched me over to the "Bourbon, BBQ, and Beer" tour (with my approval). That one was really quite good! Exactly as advertised. We hit a distillery, a BBQ joint, and a brewery. All were fantastic. I recommend that tour!
Hey! Thank you so much for the review! Glad you enjoyed and recommend the experience.
Truly incredible experience and a shout out to Heather Grace (HG) our tour guide. She kept a great pace and the whole group engaged.
Thank you for your review! We're glad that you had a wonderful time with us!
We did the Tennessee Whiskey Experience Tour and went to three different distilleries (Company, Lieper's Fork, and Nashville Craft) and stopped at Fox and Locke for lunch. The different distilleries all had their own vibe. Company was smaller and cozy. Lieper's Fork was engaging and full of interesting historical information. Nashville Craft was my personal favorite - it's small (and unfortunately they're moving from that location due to gentrification) but they really explain the science behind distilling. Lunch was good - the food was good and there was a band playing. The bus was quite comfortable and safe. Even though we were touring during thunderstorms with some flash flooding, it felt very safe. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you so much for such an thought-out a great review. We also thank you for your recommendation. We're glad that you had an amazing time with us.
Fun day trip if you like whiskey, bourbon, and other spirits! Comfortable bus. Low key driver, Jamie was great! Would recommend for a fun off Broadway experience!
Thank you for your review and your recommendation! We're thrilled that you had a fun day trip with us.
Lieper's Fork Distillery was a highlight. Paul, our guide, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Company Distillery and Craft Distillery were interesting as well. Our fellow participants were friendly and easy-going.
We're pleased to be a great way to spend a rainy day. Thank you for your review.
Great experience. We hit 3 very nice, small craft distillers. A lot of history and insight into the distilling process. My son and I would highly recommend this tour.
We're thrilled that you two had a great father/son experience. We appreciate you both for taking the tour with us - and for your recommendation!
