Distillery District Food & History Tour in Lexington
Join us in Lexington’s lively Distillery District for a journey you won’t forget. This historic area was once home to one of the most important bourbon distilleries in Kentucky, founded in 1880 by legendary third-generation distiller James E. Pepper. Today, the district has been revitalized into one of Lexington’s most exciting gathering places — but the stories of bourbon, business, and big personalities still live here.
On this tour, we’ll explore the beginnings of bourbon, the drama and rivalries of early distillers, and the often-overlooked stories — including the women who helped build the bourbon industry. Along the way, you’ll enjoy great food, cocktails, and a bourbon tasting while experiencing one of Lexington’s most unique neighborhoods through storytelling.
Learn the stories you haven’t heard — and taste the district that helped build Kentucky’s most famous industry.
