A four-hour small-group van tour that moves between three top Nashville distilleries and tasting rooms. Learn barrel selection, sample straight from ricks, and try pre-release pours while guides explain pairing and production.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into a comfortable van in downtown Nashville and the city hums past: neon, brick warehouses, and the low thrum of a music scene that raised a culture thirsty for character. The guide seats the small group, lays out the route and, with practiced steadiness, opens the floor to questions — this is not a bar crawl but a focused tasting experience that moves from barrelhouse to tasting room.
