Step 2

You book distillery tours & tastings

Once you choose your distilleries, you’ll book the tour / tasting reservations directly with each distillery. This keeps tickets and availability in your name and lets you customize every stop.

Frequently Asked Questions

A few quick details about how our bourbon tours and event transportation work.

Do you sell tour tickets or tastings at the distilleries?

No. We provide private transportation only. Your group is responsible for booking tour and tasting reservations directly with each distillery. This makes sure all tickets are in your name and your group can pick exactly the experiences you want.

How many distilleries can we visit in one day?

Most groups plan on visiting 2–4 distilleries in a full day, depending on distance between stops and how long you’d like to stay at each one. We’re happy to help you think through a realistic timeline when you submit your quote.

Can we drink on the party bus?

In most cases, yes — as long as all passengers are 21+ and you comply with Kentucky law and any container rules. We do not provide alcohol, but you are welcome to bring your own beverages. Your chauffeur will always remain alcohol-free.

Are you affiliated with any distillery or official trail?

No. Party Bus Bourbon Tours is an independent transportation company. Distillery names, brands, and logos are the property of their respective owners. We are not endorsed by or officially affiliated with any distillery or industry association.
