Misc
Friday Welcome Event
Our Friday evening welcome gathering will feature a Bourbon 101 event including novice bourbon education with tastings, flavor pairings, and a Q&A session.
We are thrilled that our Bourbon 101 event is scheduled to be conducted by Tim Knittel. Tim is a Kentucky bourbon industry insider with over 10 years experience in bourbon education. He is also a certified Stave & Thief Society Executive Bourbon Steward (often compared to a Bourbon Sommelier) which is the highest classification available for a professional bourbon educator. Some of Tim's other roles include being the the Bourbon-Steward-In-Residence at The Kentucky Castle and an Adjunct Professor at Midway University.
We will visit multiple historic distilleries on this guided tour, all located in the scenic Kentucky countryside. Walking in the footsteps of generations of master distillers, we will be escorted through the long, renowned journey of bourbon. Lunch is included at one of our stops.
INCLUDED IN PACKAGE
This includes an all-access pass to Louisville’s most unique distillery – Angel’s Envy. At Angel’s Envy we get to enjoy a tailored behind-the-scenes tour just for our group, the “Inside the Barrel Tour.” We also have a unique opportunity to learn from a master mixologist at a private cocktail class. After a drink of your choice, we will mingle with limited-batch tastings, small plate pairings, and live entertainment.

FAQ
What is a “Land-Only” package?
A Land-Only package includes all the items listed as “tour package features” EXCEPT for air transportation, airport/hotel transfers, and baggage handling. A Land-Only package would be appropriate should the tour participant not be able to conveniently depart/return from the same city listed in the Air package or wish to travel on their own. Please note flights and/or motor coach transportation to the destination city is not included in this type of package.
What’s included in my price?
Your final price includes room and all hotel taxes. It does not include items such as charges for meals, parking, rollaway beds, phone calls, valet and room service, or any other items of a personal nature.
What do “Single,” “Double,” “Triple,” and “Quad” mean?
Single, Double, Triple, and Quad refer to how many adults (13 and over) are sharing each room (total room occupancy). For example, if two adults wish to stay in the same room, the price would be the Double price, and this would be per person.
Do I need travel insurance?
Due to the investment of your travel package, we strongly recommend the purchase of appropriate insurance coverage. Medical insurance policies may not protect your travels away from home and often have out-of-network deductibles. Likewise, coverage through credit cards and travel suppliers can have shortfalls and not fully protect you. For additional information, please click on the Insurance link on the bottom right of this website.
What does the “Child” price mean?
Children’s prices are limited to those 12 years of age or under sharing a room with one or more adults and using existing bedding. For example, if the room is shared with one adult, the single rate applies as the adult’s price plus the child’s price. If the room is shared with two adults, the double rate applies as each adult’s price plus the child’s price.
What type of payments do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Debit cards featuring the Visa or MasterCard logo are also accepted; however, please be advised these types of cards typically have a maximum amount that you may charge daily. Please check with your financial institution.
When will I receive my trip documents?
Trip documents are typically emailed two to three weeks prior to departure for regular season football weekends and specialty programs while bowl game participants will receive theirs five to seven days out. Itineraries for special events, such as the Final Four and Bowl Games, will be sent via email just prior to leaving. If you are not the main reservation contact and would like to receive the emailed tour documents, please add your email to the reservation or contact your booking agent.
If I’m not traveling, can I make a reservation for someone else?
When completing the reservation, use the name of the person for whom you are making the reservation. When entering credit card information, you may use your credit card and billing address for payment.
