Here in Kentucky, we love our bourbon… and our boats. The Bluegrass is known for epic water recreation, in fact, and while many of us (responsibly) imbibe in a glass whilst enjoying a summer boating excursion, it’s not often you see bourbon and boats together in any sort of official capacity. That’s what makes the Bourbon Boat Tour from Kentucky River Tours so special. Climb aboard and experience the Bourbon Trail like never before, for an experience that truly is the ultimate Kentucky day trip!

What are some other unique Kentucky tours?
Experience the Bluegrass State like never before when you opt for one of the following unique Kentucky tours:
- Baker-Bird Winery is acclaimed for its winery *and* bourbon distillery, and is, in our opinion, the perfect fall day trip in Kentucky. The oldest and largest winery in the United States, Baker-Bird is known for its internationally-acclaimed wine *and* bourbon, as well as its historic wine tours. One of just 22 wineries listed on the National Historic Registry in the U.S., Baker-Bird Winery's distillery site dates back all the way to 1797, making for a fascinating and wholly unique day trip in KY!
- Old Louisville Tours. Old Louisville is one of the most beautiful and historic places in Kentucky. All over the city, there are neighborhoods full of beautiful estates and stately homes that glimmer as brightly today as they did over a hundred years ago. It is one of the most acclaimed historic districts in the U.S., which, of course, has caused many a “haunted” rumor to spread over the years. If you’re looking to discover the haunted side of Old Louisville, there’s a one-day tour (in broad daylight!) sure to stoke and satisfy your curiosity about this legendary and historic Kentucky neighborhood.
- Buffalo Trace Distillery isn't just one of the most historic distilleries in Kentucky, it's also one of the most beautiful. The Frankfort distillery sprawls over 130 acres that's flush with gorgeous gardens, towering trees, and expansive green spaces. The 200-year-old distillery includes approximately 100 acres of woods, a farmhouse with barns, and two ponds, in fact. And then, of course, there are the warehouses themselves. These big, beautiful barrel warehouses are where the magic happens, and on a free distillery tour, you can enjoy a peek behind the curtain of one of the most legendary distilleries in Kentucky!
- Kentucky River Thorobred Cruise. There are many ways to get out on the water in Kentucky, but if you're looking for a free opportunity that focuses on education, then check out the Kentucky River Thorobred. The tours aboard this 52-foot Coast Guard certified vessel are run through Kentucky State University and are funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That means this free, educational opportunity is open to the public!
