About this road trip

Discover Kentucky through three places with very different characters. Begin in lively Louisville, continue into the heart of bourbon country at Bardstown and finish among the elegant horse farms and historic streets of Lexington. The driving is deliberately easy, leaving time for tastings, food, music and Bluegrass scenery. Because bourbon and driving never belong together, guided and chauffeured tasting experiences can be added to the journey.

Why we love this route

  • Two nights in energetic Louisville
  • Bardstown and the heart of Kentucky bourbon country
  • Lexington horse farms and Bluegrass scenery
  • Short, comfortable driving stages
  • Optional chauffeured distillery experience
  • Boutique hotel and premium car upgrades
  • Hotels you choose
  • Rental car included
  • 24/7 assistance
  • Experts on call
