Mask Requirement: Buffalo Trace is still requiring masks for non-vaccinated individuals and proof of vaccination for fully vaccinated individuals to go mask-free on the tours. A copy of the vaccination card is acceptable.
This is a driving tour to the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery, 
the world's most award-winning distillery in Frankfort, KY. A National Historic Landmark, Buffalo Trace Distillery is also the oldest continually operating distillery in America. Our tour guides will provide a customized tour of different parts of the distillery rather than a tour of only one or two areas. It will start with a catered lunch in the private Elmer T. Lee Clubhouse on the distillery grounds, reserved only for our group. The Clubhouse is named in honor of his 50-year dedication and contributions toward making Buffalo Trace one of the finest distilleries in the world.
There are four menu options to choose from when you get to the Clubhouse:
1) Roast Beef and Swiss Cheese on Italian bread
2) Club sandwich on sourdough bread
3) Chicken Salad Luxe on a Croissant
4) Tuscan Veggie on Schiachiata
All lunch options come with a Spring Salad with Rose Vinaigrette dressing, Southern Green Bean Salad, and a seasonal premium dessert assortment. Canned soft drinks and bottled water are also included. You will choose your lunch option when you enter the Clubhouse.
Please note that this is NOT a tasting tour since we will be driving, but there will be an opportunity to purchase various award-winning bourbons at the gift shop before departing back to the resort. Tour capacity is limited to 48 people per day due to distillery guide limites, so register early if you are interested!
Tour offered Tuesday through Friday, July 13-16.
Added option: If you are a horse person, there is an option "self-drive" after the distillery tour that consists of a loop around some of the thoroughbred horse farms to the southeast of Frankfort before heading back to the French Lick Resort. This makes the tour an all-day event so plan your schedules accordingly.
Tour Note: Due to potential state and local restrictions on group gatherings during Parade Week because of the COVID-19 virus, Parade Tours may be modified, resulting in tour capacities adjusted from what is shown. Updated information, along with any needed changes, should be available before Phase ll registration (April 7). This information is intended to provide an overview of this tour.
