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.

Lilly was a wonderful guide. The history of Lexington is fascinating. The art, architecture and murals around town are amazing. Each restaurant that we visited was very unique.

We really enjoyed the walking food tour. Each destination was a short and easy walk filled with conversation from our host and new acquaintances. Like others have said, don’t eat before you go, you’ll have plenty to eat and drink. The bourbon tasting was informative and a unique experience. We enjoyed every stop along the way.

This was such a great way to start our siblings weekend on the Bourbon Trail. Caroline was wonderful and shared so many cool, fun pieces of information about the distillery district and even broader history of Lexington. The food and tasting hosts along the way are must see destinations for anyone visiting the area - Dark Arts, Wise Bird, Elkhart Tavern, Pepper Distillery, Ethereal Brewing, good fellows pizza and Crank and Boom. Highly recommended!

Me and my man had a wonderful experience with our tour and tour guide Kat! I am a native Kentuckian who decided to bring my boyfriend who is from Colorado. The admission fee was very affordable and the amount of food and drinks that we got was perfect ! The crowd size was absolutely perfect since it was just me, my man, and the tour guide. I highly recommend the Distillery District Food & History Tour to locals and to those visiting KY!
