Event Updates

Central Kentucky Tours

  1. Summer and Fall are just around the corner and now is a great time to plan your visit to Kentucky and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. We offer public and private tours as well as transportation only if needed. Visit www.centralkentuckytours.com and email me at bruce@centralkentuckytours.com to set up your tour.
  2. During the Covid-19 Pandemic we will continue to offer super clean buses as well as reducing the size of our public tours  to 6 maximum guest. We also have face mask if you forgot yours, plenty of hand sanitizer and disinfectant to clean during your tour. The distilleries are also making every effort to make your trip a fun and safe time. We are also offering full refund for your tour, if the Covid-19 issues continue and distilleries have to close again.
  3.  Distilleries “can” start offering tours starting 6-8-20 (per our Governor), but only Wilderness Trail has announced that they will be starting then. Buffalo Trace has announced they will begin tours on 7-1-20 and I expect others to announce very soon their opening plans.
  4. Restaurants started offering dine in service 5-23-20 at 33% capacity and that will increase gradually over the next few weeks until everyone is back to full strength.  
  5. Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby has been rescheduled for 9-4-20 and 9-5-20. We still have openings for tours all that week. 
  6. Keeneland’s Fall Meet starts 10-2-20 thru 10-24-20 with racing Wednesday to Sunday. The Fall meet is a great time to visit due to weather, distilleries are going at full blast, SEC Football and the leaves are starting to turn. This is usually one of our busiest times of the year, so advance reservations are a must.
  7. Breeder’s Cup will be held again at Keeneland on 11-6-20 and 11-7-20. This is the biggest two days of racing all year. Keeneland did an outstanding job in 2015 holding the event and I expect no less this time around.
  8. We are also proud to announce we are offering our Health Care Workers the same discount on our public tours as we offer our active and ex-military guest. This discount is offered on both our Bourbon in the Bluegrass Tour as well as our Barrel to Bottle Tour.
  9. Due to popular demand we are now offering Public Sunday Tours from the Marriott Griffin Gate. Check our website for details on distilleries offered on the day you would like to tour.
  10. We have also started a BLOG (about 5 years late), we will update this with all the happenings around the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and Horse Country. We will also post any news about our new tours and offerings We will also post images of our buses and info on our great group of guides on this page. you can check that out at www.centralkentuckytours.com/blog
  11. We all know this has been a trying time for us all and if you are like me, we are all looking for a great place to visit and get out of the house. Rest assured, Central Kentucky Tours and myself will do everything we can to make sure you have an enjoyable safe trip to Kentucky.
