The Itinerary
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.
This Nashville tour is offered on Fridays and Saturdays at 11am.
DEPARTURE: 11:00 AM
Downtown Nashville near the Omni hotel. The address is 250 Rep. John Lewis Way South. Meet near Bob’s Steakhouse, connected to the Omni Hotel. No waiting in the rain, cold, heat, etc. We promise.
RETURN: 5:00 PM
Our tour visits and tastes at three Tennessee distilleries. We rotate distilleries, but we’ll be sure to pick the good ones. We’ll make sure to hit a local favorite restaurant for lunch as well! You’ll be dropped off downtown around 5pm, just about a block from the honkey tonks and Nashville night life!
THE TOUR
You’ll enjoy guided tours and whiskey 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.

You must have a valid ID present and be 21 years of age or older. You will not be permitted to do a tasting tour without identification. Foreign identification (e.g., driver’s license, passport) are accepted as long as they are not expired.
THE TENNESSEE WHISKEY EXPERIENCE: NASHVILLE TOUR
Climb aboard, sit back, and sip on some amazing whiskey from some of the best distilleries along the Tennessee Whiskey Trail. This Nashville tour takes you to three local-favorite distilleries. Compared to our other tour offerings, the Tennessee Whiskey Experience is shorter, requires less time on the bus, and allows you to sample more whiskey. The Tennessee Whiskey Experience tour is one of the best activities for adults in Nashville!
“Such a great experience. Definitely worth the price! You can drink in the [bus] and the driver was really nice. We learned so much about whiskey and have found a new appreciation on the process of whiskey making after this tour.” - Kharizza L., TripAdvisor Review

The itinerary is not always the same, and it can change based on availability. Trust us, we know the best locations! Some of our favorites are Company Distilling, Leiper’s Fork Distillery, Corsair Distilling, Nashville Barrel Co., and Nelson’s Green Brier.
-
Yes! No need to sneak it on board. As long as you keep it classy (and pick up after yourself), you are welcome to BYOB for the bus ride. Just know you can’t drink it outside of the vehicle. In Tennessee, you must be 21 to legally imbibe (on the bus and off).
-
Believe it not, some people don’t love whiskey as much as we do. So, in order to make everyone happy, we try to at least have one stop at a distillery that produces other spirits in addition to whiskey. Gin, vodka, flavored liqueur, things like that.
-
You think we would make you go all day without a bite to eat? Your guide will make sure to stop at a favorite local spot for lunch. Although lunch is on your own (not included in the ticket price), your guide will be sure to give some recommendations.
-
Here is the Volunteer State, we make all kinds of whiskey. Our friends in Kentucky might tell you bourbon must be made there, but that just isn’t the case. We make bourbon, rye, and other spirits here in Tennessee! Our namesake, Tennessee whiskey, is made just like bourbon, but it is filtered through sugar maple charcoal prior to barreling. If you take the Tennessee Whiskey Experience Tour, you will get to try some for yourself!
-
It does not. On the Tennessee Whiskey Experience, we like to take guests off the beaten path to experience some local favorite whiskey and other spirits.
