Great Bourbon Tour
This was our second bourbon tour with Mint Julip Experiences and it was just as good as the first one. Over a full day, we visited the three listed distilleries for tours and tastings plus a quick bonus stop at Jeptha & Creed. Our guide Kenny was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained with stories about Kentucky, horse racing and the bourbon industry. Meanwhile, our driver Gary expertly handled the small bus over the 140 plus miles between Louisville, the scattered distilleries then back to Louisville so we could safely attend the bourbon tastings! Lunch was at a local restaurant and food and soft drinks were included in the tour price. (You could buy your own alcoholic beverages!).

10/10 Experience!
Dan and Gary (aka Gar-Bear) were the best!!! I felt like I was tour with long time family members, learning all about KY history and good bourbon! I was on the tour for research with my company and I would 10/10 recommend.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Woodford Reserve, Castle & Key, and Stitzel Weller Bourbon Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Louisville.
How much does Woodford Reserve, Castle & Key, and Stitzel Weller Bourbon Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $285 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Louisville usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Woodford Reserve, Castle & Key, and Stitzel Weller Bourbon Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9.5 hours 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 Louisville is not rushed.
Is Woodford Reserve, Castle & Key, and Stitzel Weller Bourbon Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Louisville, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Woodford Reserve, Castle & Key, and Stitzel Weller Bourbon Tour?
+
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 Woodford Reserve, Castle & Key, and Stitzel Weller Bourbon Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Woodford Reserve, Castle & Key, and Stitzel Weller Bourbon Tour?
+
Around 5 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 Louisville 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 Louisville and add a light layer if any part of the 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Woodford Reserve, Castle & Key, and Stitzel Weller Bourbon Tour 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 Louisville 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 Louisville?
+
Louisville runs bourbon distillery tours and tastings along the Urban Bourbon Trail, Churchill Downs and Derby Museum visits, Louisville Slugger factory tours and river cruises. On Outty we rank every Louisville experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Historic Old Louisville Walking Tour, ORIGINAL Old Louisville Walking Tour seen in The New York Times!, Secrets of Louisville: 3hr NuLu Food & History Walking Tour. 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 Louisville?
+
April to June and September to November. 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 Louisville?
+
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.
