The chance to drive your favorite classic through the rolling hills of Kentucky, the land of bourbon, bluegrass, thoroughbred racing and finger-licking-good fried chicken? That’s the whole idea behind our all-new Classic Motorsports Bluegrass Tour.
Monday, October 9, marked the first day of driving on our new tour of Kentucky, starting off from the Historic Boone Tavern Hotel and heading towards Bardstown, the historic home of bourbon making.
Once there, tour guests were treated to an inside look at the bourbon-making process at the Heaven Hill Distillery–and the chance to taste a few samples, too.
Then, it was a short stint into downtown Bardstown where we met at the Old Talbott Tavern for lunch. In operation since 1779, the historic tavern has hosted just about everyone, from rough frontiersmen to generals and even a few statesmen.
After that, we stopped for a visit at the Maker’s Mark Distillery, where guests were treated to a tour of the grounds that offered insight into the art and history of bourbon making, plus a tasting before heading back to our home away from home, the Historic Boone Tavern Hotel in Berea.
