The experience

How do you taste your way through Nashville's craft spirits scene without arranging your own transportation? This tour handles the logistics: you show up at the first location, and a guide drives the group between 3-4 distilleries and breweries over three hours. The stops rotate (you might visit Nelson's Green Brier Distillery at Marathon Village, Pennington Distilling Co, Nashville Barrel Company, or Big Machine Distillery, depending on the day), but the operator always visits at least three places and always includes 9-12 samples across whiskey, bourbon, beer and vodka. No driving, no navigation, no figuring out where to go next.

Each stop is a working distillery or brewery, not a tasting room designed for tourists. You get to see how the spirits are made and taste what the location produces. The samples add up across the afternoon, nine to twelve of them, so you're not just sipping. You're getting a real sense of what Middle Tennessee's craft producers are doing. A base gratuity of $10 per person is added to the price upfront, so there's no math at the end of the day.

The tour requires at least five people to operate, so if your group is smaller you'll need to reschedule or request a refund. You'll need a valid photo ID (the distilleries and breweries check it before pouring), and you must be 21 or older. Service animals are welcome. Public transportation options exist nearby if you need an alternative way to get to the first stop.
