Tennessee Whiskey Experience: Bus Tour with 11+ Whiskey Tastings

About this experience

The Tennessee Whiskey Experience is your chance to go beyond the big names and explore the heart of the state’s craft distilling scene. This small-group tour visits three award-winning, locally loved distilleries, each offering a different take on Tennessee spirits — including whiskey, bourbon, and other spirits.

You’ll enjoy guided tastings at each stop, transportation in a comfortable tour vehicle, and insights from a local guide who knows their whiskey and the region’s history. Along the way, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how Tennessee whiskey is made — from grain to glass — in places most tourists don’t discover on their own.

This is a great choice for guests looking for something authentic, relaxed, and off the beaten path. Whether you’re a whiskey connoisseur or just curious to try something new, this tour gives you a full taste of what Tennessee spirits are all about — without having to worry about a single detail.
