Tour and Tasting Options

Traditional Tour & Tasting

The Tour and Tasting takes you back in time to meet Kentucky's first licensed distiller, Evan Williams.  Along the way, you will visit recreations of the Louisville wharf in the late 18th Century, as well as Whiskey Row along Main Street from the 1890’s through the present. You’ll learn how Heaven Hill’s modern Bernheim Distillery operates and discover how it is different from distilling in Evan’s era. Then, you will see a combination of the two—a state-of-the-art, modern, operating distillery utilizing the same type of pot stills as the early Bourbon-making days.  This tour will also include 4 Bourbon tastings.


This 1 Hour Tour and Tasting is $15 per person.


*Due to the legal limits of tasting quantity, each guest can only participate in 1 tour / tasting per day*
