Planning A Perfect Trip To The Kentucky Bourbon Trail

Are you planning a trip to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail?

As a family, we love a good road trip! After our kids attended football camp at Clemson University, we made our way through Tennessee, Kentucky, up through West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and finally back home to Connecticut. My husband is a huge lover of Bourbon and Whiskey and I can’t lie I enjoy it too. We couldn’t be in Kentucky, and not do the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.

Is The Kentucky Bourbon Trail Kid Friendly?

Absolutely! When I was planning a trip to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, I was nervous about bringing the kids. I am not a huge fan of bringing my kids to wineries, breweries, and distilleries, I enjoy that time as an adult, and would rather not take them (personal preference, NO JUDGEMENT to those that do). The grounds of all the distilleries we went to were great to just walk around and explore outside. I never felt uncomfortable having my children with me. I would say that Buffalo Trace was the most kid friendly and Maker’s Mark wasn’t far behind.

We spent two days on the trail and we visited two distilleries a day.

NOTE!

Buffalo Trace is not part of the official Kentucky Bourbon Trail, so it won’t show up on official Kentucky Bourbon Trail maps, but I promise you, you don’t want to miss out on it. Buffalo Trace was by far our favorite stop!
