Overview

Downtown Louisville has a rhythm all its own, where river air carries the sweet, oaky scent of aging barrels and cast-iron facades on historic Whiskey Row tell the story of bourbon pioneers. This tour ditches the tourist haunts and gets straight to what makes Louisville tick: its food. As we wander Museum Row and the riverside, you'll indulge in spirit-infused chocolates revealing deep notes of Kentucky's finest bourbon, bite into a Short Rib Grilled Cheese with braised short ribs, gruyère, provolone and caramelized onions on toasted homemade brioche, and dip warm pretzels into zesty beer cheese, a regional staple with deep Kentucky roots. Because we keep groups to a maximum of 12 guests, it feels like exploring with a friend who knows all the best spots. We'll also stop at a family-run dairy churning premium ice cream since the 1800s, and pause for our Secret Dish, a savory, melted tribute to this city's legendary comfort food tradition!
