Experience the perfect blend of Kentucky tradition, history, and craftsmanship with our Churchill Downs & Buffalo Trace Bourbon Tour. This carefully curated experience brings together two of the most iconic symbols of the Bluegrass State: thoroughbred horse racing and world-class bourbon. The tour begins with a visit to Churchill Downs, home of the legendary Kentucky Derby. Guests will explore the historic grounds and museum, learning about the rich legacy of thoroughbred racing, the pageantry of Derby Day, and the deep cultural roots that make this venue world-famous. From there, the journey continues to Buffalo Trace Distillery, one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in the United States and a cornerstone of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. During the guided distillery tour, guests will discover the bourbon-making process from grain to bottle, walk through historic warehouses, and gain insight into the craftsmanship behind some of the most renowned bourbons in the world.

Q&A

Q: What’s the best time of year to do the Buffalo Trace and Churchill Downs tour?

A: Honestly, spring is a fantastic time since it coincides with the Kentucky Derby season! This year the Derby is on May 6th, which means the vibe in Louisville is electric. However, if you're not into crowds, late fall offers a quieter experience, and you can still enjoy the distillery tours without the rush.

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the Buffalo Trace distillery tour?

A: Yes, guests must be at least 21 years old to participate in the tasting portions at Buffalo Trace. Kids can join the tour, but they won’t be able to sample the bourbon. Just a heads up, so plan accordingly if you're bringing someone younger!

Q: What’s included in the luxury transportation for this tour?

A: The luxury transportation typically includes a comfortable van or limousine that picks you up from a designated location in Louisville. Water and snacks are usually provided as well, so you can enjoy the ride in style. Just confirm this with the provider when booking!

Just did the Buffalo Trace and Churchill Downs tour - WOW!

I took my fiancé for his birthday last month, and it was honestly one of the best days ever! Touring Churchill Downs was surreal, especially with all the history. The distillery tour at Buffalo Trace was super engaging too. We even got to taste a couple of different bourbons! If you’re in Louisville, do not miss this! Perfect gift for anyone who loves horses or bourbon.

Is Churchill Downs really worth it for a non-racing fan?

I’m thinking about gifting this experience to my dad, but he's not really into horse racing. Should I still go for it? I heard the history aspect is really cool. What do you all think?
