Had a great tour here with my family and friends (including 1 child). As you can imagine, the place isn't super geared towards children, but he had a good time learning! Tour is lead by a guide, bus takes you around the grounds, you get to see bourbon being made and be awed by how traditional some of it still... More

Be sure to get in line for a tour on arrival. There could be an hour wait. Knowing this we planned a lunch stop here. Their food is just OK, but at least you can eat while you wait. They need to take a lesson from Jim Beam and let you reserve your tour ahead of time. The tasting at... More

We asked friends who lived in KY which was the best Bourbon tour and we were told to visit Woodford Reserve. We were not let astray. Woodford Reserve is top notch all the way. Classy, informative, beautiful, friendly, with great samples. We visited another in the are and it just could even compare. Woodford Reserve is the best Kentucky has... More

Nice visitor's center and beautiful property. Got lucky and got tickets right before they sold out. They charge $7 for the tour, but includes a shot glass in which your sample is served. Appreciated hearing the tour guide through the provided headphones which greatly helped overcome the noises of a working distillery. Enjoyable grounds and tour.

Woodford is in a fantastic location and a must do, it was one of our favourite stops, very welcoming and friendly staff and a great gift shop with the option of personalising a bottle. The bourbon chocolate samples were yummy not to forget the smooth bourbon sample also.

Beautiful drive through the horse farms to Woodford Distillery. We participated in a tour of the grounds and the distillery itself. The tour was not too long and was very informative. We were there in the month of November and paid for a Thanksgiving dinner. The food was turkey and dressing of course but with Southern touches on preparation and... More

This distillery is located in horse farm country, very near Frankfort and Lexington. Its reception area is modern and is end point of a tour that was the most informative my wife and I experienced when we recently visited the Bourbon Trail.

This was the most organized and most informative tour on the KBT. Nice gift shop. Be sure to get a bag of the carmel candy, plain and the one's with marshmallow centers. Nice snack bar in visitor center. Very professional tour guide who provided lots of information.

I loved this tour! My boyfriend loves Woodford Bourbon so this was my Valentine's Day present to him. The tour is resonably priced at 7$ which includes a free shot to try at the end. The grounds are beautiful and the historic buildings are charming. The walking is minimal but you are able to see every aspect of the bourbon... More
