Featured Destination: Louisville

If you need some inspiration, start your own tasting itinerary over a long weekend in Louisville, Kentucky. Stay at the Brown Hotel or 21C Museum Hotel Louisville and visit the Bourbon District. Within walking distance are a few of the best distilleries in the world, including Angel’s Envy Distillery, Old Forester Distillery, Jim Beam Urban Stillhouse, and Rabbit Hole Distillery. Learn what to pair with your new favorite Kentucky bourbons while dining at local favorites like Bristol Bar & Grille – Downtown, Butchertown Grocery, Jack Fry’s, and Porch Kitchen & Bar.

Louisville is loaded with great attractions! Spend a few hours touring the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory and the Kentucky Derby Museum. Don’t miss the Nulu neighborhood— it’s one of our favorite areas to explore with cafes, boutique shops, and friendly people.

Before you leave town on the famous Kentucky Bourbon Trail, stop by Jockey Silks Bourbon Bar. Not only will you be in one of Louisville’s oldest bourbon bars, but they also have the country’s largest selection of Kentucky Bourbons (more than 150 available)!
