    Very nice. Try it out.

    Great experience. Mimi kept it lighthearted but informative. Making my own old-fashioned turned out great, and the bourbon and vodka were very good. A nice hour spent doing something different and fun.

    Bourbon Tasting Pleasure

    My husband and I had a private tasting experience with Mimi and it was wonderful! She was SO pleasant and insightful, especially in light of our lack of bourbon knowledge. We asked a lot of questions and she had all the answers. The venue was clean, beautifully designed, and classy. We would highly recommend this event.

    Tasting Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lexington.

    How much does Tasting Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lexington usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Tasting Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lexington is not rushed.

    Is Tasting Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lexington, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tasting Experience?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Tasting Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tasting Experience?

    +

    Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lexington can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lexington and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tasting Experience start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lexington within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lexington?

    +

    Lexington, KY packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Lexington by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Lexington experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Thoroughbred Horse Farm Tour in Kentucky, Unique Horse Farm Tours with Insider Access to Private Farms, Walking Food Tour Downtown Lexington. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lexington?

    +

    Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Lexington, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lexington?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Tasting Experience?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Tasting Experience?

    +
