Kentucky Bike & Bourbon Bike Tour

Horse Farms, Distilleries, and Southern Charm

“We enjoyed the variety and the warm welcome our group received [at break stops]…like stopping to see a friend.”

~Christine Torello

Welcome to Bourbon Country! Why not follow up a good day’s ride with a stiff sample straight from Kentucky’s oldest and most reputable distilleries? Central Kentucky is home to some of the nation’s finest whiskey-makers, including Wild Turkey, Willet, Buffalo Trace and Woodford Reserve.

Kentucky is also home to Keeneland Race Track, home of Thoroughbred horse racing and still one of the largest Thoroughbred breeding hubs. The finely manicured class of the Kentucky landscape is best enjoyed by bike, cycling past green lawns, horse farms, and superior Southern lodging.

Custom bike tour departures available for groups of 6 or more.
