The Tennessee Whiskey Experience: Guided Tour of Local Distilleries

About this experience

What you'll do:

The Tennessee Whiskey Experience departs from downtown Nashville at 11:00 AM and returns at 5:00 PM, starting just two blocks from Broadway. The tour visits three rotating distilleries, where you'll sample whiskey while learning about Tennessee’s rich bootlegging history, which lasted longer than federal prohibition. Tennessee, the first state to enact Prohibition laws, had distilleries in its rural hills that continued to thrive under the radar until the 21st Amendment in 1933. Each distillery stop offers a taste of local heritage and craftsmanship. The itinerary is kept a secret, ensuring a unique and unexpected experience at every stop.

Why we love it for your party:

  • Sip & savor (Experience a guided tour and indulge in whiskey tastings at three amazing distilleries that locals can’t stop raving about)
  • Lunch break (We’ll make a tasty stop for lunch along the way—because every great adventure deserves a great meal)
  • Wrap it up (The tour finishes up around 5:00 pm, leaving you with plenty of time to keep the fun going - or take a well-earned nap!)

About this experience partner:

Tennessee Whiskey Tours gives you a generous pour of history, tradition, and ingenuity, from the rolling hills of Lynchburg to the banks of the Cumberland.
Whether you’re a native or just passing through, our tours are the best way to spend a day with family, friends, or complete strangers experiencing Tennessee’s finest distilleries. We’ll give you a ride and hand you a glass – all you gotta’ do is get your butt in a seat.

Additional Information:

Stops Inlcude:

  • Nelson's Green Brier Distillery:A family-run distillery reopened after being dormant for nearly 100 years. The Nelson brothers are on a mission to bring back the bustling whiskey business that was once bigger than Jack Daniel’s.
  • Corsair Distillery: The most innovative distillery in town, Corsair won Whiskey Advocate’s 19th Annual Artisan Whiskey of the Year Award with their Triple Smoke. Ever tasted Quinoa Whiskey? It a thing. They play by their own rules…and that’s a good thing.
  • Company Distilling: This quaint operation housed in an old grain barn 35 minutes south of Nashville is the first legal operation in Williamson County in a century. In addition to whiskey, their gin is something to be admired.
  • Pennington Distilling Co: Producers of myriad whiskies, Whisper Creek Tennessee Sipping Cream, vodkas, among other spirits-Pennington is a crowd pleaser. The large industrial warehouse space offers an up-close look into the process of making whiskey from grain to glass.
  • Nashville Craft Distillery: Founded by a former DNA scientist, this spot puts a scientific spin on their tours. You’ll walk away with a lesson in chemistry, biology, and maybe even history and linguistics. Don’t worry-there’s whiskey involved and there is no test at the end!
  • Leiper’s Fork Distillery: Nestled near the darling town of Leiper’s Fork, this is the type of place you journey to on a Sunday afternoon drive. The setting is idyllic, and the tasting room housed in a 200 year old reclaimed log cabin is astonishing. It helps that they make amazing whiskey!

The tour bus was very clean, with comfortable seats. Our driver was very personable. We were picked up right on time. The tour was informative - our tour guide, Juliet, was great - fantastic personality. The tasting was exactly that - just a taste of whiskey and rye- but Lynchburg is a dry town. Quaint little village to walk around - plenty of shops to check out and restaurants.

Our driver Mr. Jimmy was hit! He offered much comic relief during the ride there and back. Xavier was an excellent tour guide. His knowledge of the distillery, history and the products at hand is priceless. We had to eat in a rush, the food was delicious.

10/10 experience! We had a great bus rider who was lots of fun and provided a lot of insight into the small town of Lynchburg as well as a bit of Nashville. I can’t remember his name unfortunately. Our tour guide at the distillery, Justin, was also lots of fun and made the experience better than I expected it to be. It was so cool to get an inside look at such a world famous whiskey. I highly recommend.

Such a great experience. Definitely worth the price! You can drink in the van 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. Pro tip: bring an extra bag or make room in your luggage for bottles you pick up at the tour. Also prepare bubble wrap especially if you’re flying home

The three distilleries we went to were great. Each tour and distillery had its differences, with the first at leipers fork being the most informative and the second at Company Distilling offering the most samples. The last distillery in Nashville offered the most variety since they appeared to have more than just whiskey and bourbon products.

Great communication prior to the tour. Excellent bus driver, and very clean transportation bus. Plenty of time for the tour and to shop for bottles directly from the distillery. The town square is a short walk or shuttle ride, and there was enough time to relax. The tour guide Amy was quite knowledgeable and answered all questions. Wonderful experience.

Definitely worth the trip! Our bus driver was very informative on the way there and back providing info about the area and towns we went through. Matt was our tour guide at the distillery. He was the best guide on any trip I’ve been on. He was funny, knowledgeable, kind, knew what he was talking about, included everyone. He made the tour exceptional! I enjoyed learning about Jack Daniel and how it is made and the history.

We took the Tennessee Whiskey Tour during a bachelor party trip to Nashville. The entire experience was awesome - they picked us up near Broadway and right off the bat we knew it was going to be a great day because of how fun the driver was. They took us to three cool distilleries and each one provided a unique experience. One thing was common among all three though, the whiskies were great! The first distillery we visited was H Clark (soon to be merged with Company Distilling). In addition to whiskies, they had two gins for us to try. I’ve never enjoyed gin in the past, but I gave both a try and they were both really good! During the trip, the driver had cold, local beers ready for us to drink in between distilleries. We also made a stop at a great BBQ restaurant for lunch (best baked beans I’ve ever had). The trip took around 6 hours in total and the driver brought us straight back to our Airbnb at the end. This tour was a wonderful experience that I could not recommend more highly!

Our group had a great time visiting 3 unique distilleries on a private tour. We also stopped at a local BBQ restaurant. Jimmy was our driver. He was very accommodating and hilarious to talk to. I would recommend this tour if you’re interested in learning how whiskey and other spirits are made and the history of them.....and of course they make sure you get your share of tasting!
