In Kentucky bourbon is more than the beautiful amber color in your favorite glencairn glass. It is the tattered mash bill found in granddad’s old desk drawer next to his gold pocket watch. It is the black and white photo of grandma smiling at the camera as she makes Christmas dinner. Bourbon is a family tradition proudly handed down from generation to generation. Our resident central Kentucky bourbon historian, Jerry Daniels and his partner Lowell Arnett, share their knowledge of Kentucky’s famous bourbon families on their videocast, Behind the Label. Join our bourbon influencers for a live session on the Pepper Family of Woodford County and a tasting of this historical bourbon lineage.

This Georgetown-centric tour will showcase the best the city has to offer. We will discover the Horsepower of Georgetown with stops at Old Friend's Farm- home to many famous retired thoroughbreds- and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky- the world's largest Toyota plant. We will enjoy the Spirits of Georgetown with stops at Country Boy Brewing for a flight and a one-of-a-kind bottle tasting at Bourbon 30. A Kentucky Proud lunch will also be included.

 

Price- $160 (Includes tours, tastings, flight and lunch) Water and snacks will be provided.
