Swapped Out for BBQ, Bourbon & Beer

Jeffrey_P, Aug 2025
Tour company didn't have enough people interested in this tour, so they switched me over to the "Bourbon, BBQ, and Beer" tour (with my approval). That one was really quite good! Exactly as advertised. We hit a distillery, a BBQ joint, and a brewery. All were fantastic. I recommend that tour!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hey! Thank you so much for the review! Glad you enjoyed and recommend the experience.

Great way to spend a rainy day!

Michele_A, Sep 2024
Lieper's Fork Distillery was a highlight. Paul, our guide, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Company Distillery and Craft Distillery were interesting as well. Our fellow participants were friendly and easy-going.

Loved going to 3 smaller distilleries. Jimmy was great. Kept us on time, got us there and back safely. Lunch place was fantastic.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for your review! We're glad that you had a great time.

A great Whiskey tour package trip.

Ken_G, May 2024
Two of three distilleries were very interesting. 3rd was good, but a bit less so. All had great personnel, and we learned a lot. Tastings were generous and a good chance to sample many products. Tour bus comfortable and driver, Jimmie, was very entertaining . All in all, a worthwhile, fun trip.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

We're humbled to be a worthwhile and fun trip. We appreciate your review and your feedback.

Whiskey, laughs and beautiful country side

Chad_K, May 2024
What a great day! Our driver, Jimmy did a great job making the bus ride fun. We had three different groups of people on our tour and everyone hugged it out at the end. Very fun day!

Response from Host, May 2024

We're glad that you had a great day with us on the tour! Thank you so much for your review.

Perfect afternoon

Catherine_R, Feb 2024
Our tour guide was Jimmy. He was awesome and super personable. The whole experience was exactly what we needed. We were able to go to 3 distilleries we had not been to and we stopped for lunch. It was great to not have to plan the itinerary and be able to sample since we were not driving ourselves. We highly recommend this experience.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Wow, a perfect afternoon. How amazing! We're so thrilled to read of your time with us. We thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review, and for your recommendation!

Easy Convenient Fun

arlenerubio, Jan 2024
Easy, convenient, and fun! We visited 3 distilleries and stopped for lunch after the first stop. My favorite was the first tasting, it was informative, delish and provided enough information about their product to make us interested in purchasing after our tasting. The second was a large distillery with a beautiful space both indoor and outdoor. The last was my least favorite tour, it felt dry and stale.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Your review is much appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about your time with us.

Great tour of smaller...

Great tour of smaller distilleries. Tom our driver was very knowledgeable and did a great job. We would highly recommend this tour.

Great Trip

Krista_B, Feb 2023
We got to go to 3 artisan distilleries which gives a different perspective that the huge commercial Jack Daniels. They all had great information and the drives were not too long.

Great day!!

Melissa_T, Oct 2022
We really enjoyed this tour! The bus was extremely comfortable. The distilleries were nice and not the most well known ones. There was a stop for lunch at Martins bbq too which was delicious. Our tour guide Jimmy was the best. He kept us laughing the while time and on time for all the stops. Nice way to spend a day away from the madness that it broadway. Thanks again Jimmy for the best time and lots of wisdom you dropped on us all hilariously.

Fun Day Unique Local Distilleries

merklem38, Jul 2022
Tom our driver was great and kept us on track to see 3 local distilleries. Lunch was at a great bbq place and the 3 distilleries were different and interesting compared to the next one. I would highly recommend this tour. It was a fun day.

Fun trip

michele_g, Jun 2022
Lots of fun. Tastings were great and the staffs were very knowledgeable. There is a stop for food along the way which wasn't mentioned but much appreciated

Educational and tasty

Bonnie_S, May 2022
Jimmy was a great tour guide!!! Knowledgeable and entertaining! Each distillery offered something unique with its facility and spirits. We enjoyed being able to sit back and relax, not worry about driving or directions, and enjoy the experience.

Time well spent!

Deborah_L, Apr 2022
Mr. Jimmy was a great driver! He kept us all (27) entertained and on time. It was a great way to see the countryside of Tn and to learn about the history of distillery. It is something we would do again! Thanks Jimmy for the great day!

Fun and informative tour

Randal_H, Feb 2022
Jimmy was really fun and encouraged the different groups to interact with each other to lighten the mood. We were taken to three different distilleries in the Nashville area and to be honest, I was floored by the quality (and quantity, lol) of the spirits we got to sample. The history of booze in the state was pretty interesting also. The best part was having someone else do the driving so you can really enjoy the company and spirits. Will definitely do it again.

Educational

April_W, Jan 2022
Had a nice time & learned a lot about Tennessee Whiskey/Bourbon. Jimmy was a fantastic Tour Host. He provided comedy & education.

Good time whiskey business

Bernadette_H, Sep 2021
Jimmy our driver was exceptional. He was engaging, funny and an overall great person. All distilleries were unique and we learned a lot about Tennessee whiskey. This tour was worth the money.

Awesome!

Dianne W, Dec 2018
This was a great tour. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed the 3 different places we visited. We learned a lot about brewing, the tour guide was friendly and the the distillery guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. We ended up having a small group so that was also a plus.
