Begin your bourbon journey with luxury door-to-door pickup from Atlanta, Louisville, or Lexington in a chauffeured Maybach Executive Sprinter Van. This upscale vehicle offers plush leather seating, Wi-Fi, refreshments, and a curated music playlist to set the tone for a relaxing ride through the scenic hills of Kentucky. Upon arrival in Cox Creek, you’ll check in at the Barrel Proof Bed & Breakfast, a bourbon-themed boutique stay designed for upscale comfort and southern charm. Guests are welcomed with a light snack and offered time to freshen up, settle into their rooms, and receive a full orientation on the exciting experiences ahead.

After settling in, the group will head to a partnering distillery for a private single-barrel selection experience. Led by a seasoned bourbon specialist, you’ll taste and evaluate several exclusive barrels to select the perfect one for your group. Once chosen, you'll move to the hands-on bottling process, where each guest fills, seals, and custom-labels their share—approximately 30 bottles per person for a group of 6. This immersive experience is both educational and unforgettable, giving you a tangible piece of Kentucky to take home. After bottling, you’ll return to the B&B and head to a curated dinner at one of Bardstown’s top restaurants (meal not included). The night concludes fireside with a complimentary bourbon and cigar pairing, offering a refined and relaxing way to celebrate Day 1.

Day 2: The Bourbon Trail Your Way

5 stops
Meals: breakfast
Accommodation: Overnight stay at Barrel Proof Bed & Breakfast

Bardstown

Your second day begins with a chef-prepared Southern breakfast at Barrel Proof Bed & Breakfast. Enjoy freshly brewed coffee, bourbon-infused syrups, artisan pastries, and farm-to-table ingredients served in a cozy, bourbon-themed setting. This relaxed and elevated breakfast sets the tone for the day’s experiences. Over the meal, your host will review your chosen bourbon itinerary—whether it’s a tasting crawl of multiple iconic distilleries or a single private behind-the-scenes tour. You’ll also receive a printed schedule, a tasting journal, and optional add-on recommendations. The pace is yours to set, with your luxury Maybach Sprinter and chauffeur ready for whatever direction the day takes you.

Kentucky Bourbon Trail

6h
Admission ticket included

If you opt for the multi-stop bourbon tasting route, your group will visit 3 to 4 legendary distilleries such as Willett, Maker’s Mark, Heaven Hill, and Bardstown Bourbon Company. At each stop, you’ll enjoy general admission tastings, where experienced staff walk you through flight selections of aged bourbons and limited releases. You'll have time to explore each distillery’s barrel warehouses, bottle shops, and scenic grounds. The Sprinter van ensures a seamless ride between locations, and your chauffeur will keep everything on schedule while you relax and enjoy the day’s pours. Each stop offers a different perspective on Kentucky’s bourbon craftsmanship—from small-batch traditions to large-scale heritage brands.

Kentucky Bourbon Trail

6h
Admission ticket included

Prefer a more intimate and in-depth experience? Guests can instead opt for a private tour at one premier distillery, such as Bardstown Bourbon Company, Buffalo Trace, or Four Roses. These upgraded tours offer behind-the-scenes access—including rickhouses, blending labs, or active bottling lines—and may include one-on-one time with a master distiller or bourbon educator (subject to availability). This option is ideal for connoisseurs looking to go beyond general tastings and gain rare insights into bourbon production. The experience typically includes an extended tasting of specialty barrels, reserved seating, and a souvenir glass or sample bottle. We handle all the coordination—just sit back and savor the education.

Bardstown

After your distillery adventures, the afternoon is yours to enjoy. You may choose to return to the B&B for downtime, unwind on the porch with a drink, or take a nap before the evening’s events. Alternatively, explore Downtown Bardstown, known as the Bourbon Capital of the World. Browse local shops, grab a bite at a charming café, or visit the Oscar Getz Museum of Whiskey History. We’ll provide recommendations based on your group’s interests. Your chauffeur remains on-call during this window to accommodate any last-minute outings, reservations, or bottle pickups. This flexible period gives you space to reset or add spontaneous moments to your bourbon weekend.

Bardstown

As the evening approaches, your group will enjoy a reserved dinner at a top-rated Bardstown restaurant, such as The Rickhouse or Scout & Scholar. These venues feature elevated southern cuisine, dry-aged steaks, locally sourced sides, and of course, deep bourbon lists. Following dinner, return to the B&B for a relaxing fireside social hour, complete with premium bourbon pours and hand-rolled cigars available to enjoy under the stars. This nightcap experience is a guest favorite, encouraging conversation, laughter, and reflection on the day’s tastings. The crackling fire, comfortable seating, and expertly selected pours make for a perfect close to your day.

Day 3: Bourbon Brunch & Farewell Ride

2 stops
Meals: breakfast
Accommodation: Not included

Bardstown

Your final day begins with a chef-prepared farewell brunch served in the comfort of Barrel Proof Bed & Breakfast. This thoughtfully curated meal features regional favorites with a refined twist—think bourbon-glazed bacon, fluffy buttermilk biscuits, spiced fruit preserves, and locally roasted coffee. It's a relaxed, celebratory send-off where you and your group can toast your unforgettable weekend one last time. If time allows, you may opt for a final stop at a nearby local boutique distillery or bottle shop, giving you one last opportunity to explore a small-batch brand or pick up a few final souvenirs. This casual outing can be tailored to your group’s interests and will be arranged based on your departure schedule and location.

Bardstown

After brunch and farewells, you’ll board your private Maybach Executive Sprinter Van for your return trip to Atlanta, Louisville, or Lexington. Your chauffeur ensures a seamless, comfortable ride, allowing you to relax in reclining leather seats, enjoy onboard refreshments, and reflect on the weekend’s highlights. Light music, scenic Kentucky landscapes, and optional post-trip treats like snacks or sparkling water make the journey home feel just as elevated as the rest of the experience. We’ll also provide each guest with a custom keepsake bag, which may include a branded tasting glass, your official barrel selection certificate, and printed tasting notes from the distilleries visited. You’ll return home with memories, bottles, and stories worth savoring.
