If you re planning to visit the Louisville area, it might be worth visiting a distillery or 18 while you re here.
In fact, distillery representatives would really love for you to visit. In 2019, the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour welcomed nearly 2 million visitors. In 2020, that number plummeted to just under 600,000 as Americans were encouraged to stay home to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.
Now, with spring rolling up and doses of various COVID-19 vaccines rolling out, distillery owners hope Kentucky Bourbon Trail tours will pick back up again.
Of course, those tours are a bit different now: they re operating with small tour groups of less than 10 people, and hand sanitizer and masks are required. You ll have to book in advance, but it still only takes a few dollars and a mask to visit some of Kentucky s famed distilleries.
