THE TOUR
As the first state to pass a Prohibition law, Tennessee’s distilleries in the hills and hollers basically owned the market from 1838 until 1933, when the 21st Amendment to the US Constitution was finally passed and ratified. Pa risked his life to buy it and Ma snuck it in her coffee (for medicinal purposes, of course).
This Nashville whiskey tour is your chance to experience (and taste!) Tennessee’s unique history first hand!
THE TENNESSEE WHISKEY EXPERIENCE: NASHVILLE BUS TOUR
Climb aboard, sit back, and sip on some amazing whiskey from some of the best distilleries along the Tennessee Whiskey Trail. This Nashville bus 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
FAQs
-
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!
