Highlights

Experience the perfect blend of Kentucky tradition, history, and craftsmanship with our Churchill Downs & Buffalo Trace Bourbon Tour. This carefully curated experience brings together two of the most iconic symbols of the Bluegrass State: thoroughbred horse racing and world-class bourbon. The tour begins with a visit to Churchill Downs, home of the legendary Kentucky Derby. Guests will explore the historic grounds and museum, learning about the rich legacy of thoroughbred racing, the pageantry of Derby Day, and the deep cultural roots that make this venue world-famous. From there, the journey continues to Buffalo Trace Distillery, one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in the United States and a cornerstone of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. During the guided distillery tour, guests will discover the bourbon-making process from grain to bottle, walk through historic warehouses, and gain insight into the craftsmanship behind some of the most renowned bourbons in the world.

Itinerary

  1. The Buffalo Trace distillery is one of the most famous in Kentucky at the age of 200. Throughout the challenges of floods, fires, tornadoes and even Prohibition, the American family-owned Buffalo Trace Distillery has never compromised. A timeless dedication to respecting the past while fearlessly innovating for the future has served us well for more than two centuries. No matter the challenge, be it Mother Nature or man, the people of our Distillery have been part of the story that shaped America and the spirit industry as well.

About Louisville

Louisville is Kentucky's largest city, on the Ohio River, famed for the Kentucky Derby, a giant baseball bat and a trail of bourbon distilleries.

Louisville stands on the Ohio River, on the border with Indiana, and was named in 1780 after King Louis XVI of France. Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby since 1875, has twin spires on its grandstand and a museum telling the story of the race. Whiskey Row, a street of old cast-iron buildings downtown, now holds bourbon bars and distillery tours, and the Muhammad Ali Center honours the boxer who was born in the city.
