Toast to Summer's Last Hurrah with a Bourbon Trail Adventure

As the kids head back to school and the golden days of summer start to fade, there’s still time for one final adventure—an end-of-summer bourbon tour through Kentucky. At Bluegrass Bourbon Tours, we believe there’s no better way to celebrate the season’s end than with smooth sips, scenic stops, and zero stress. Whether you’re squeezing in a last-minute getaway or planning a relaxing day with friends, our curated end-of-summer bourbon tours are the perfect send-off to summer.

Why August Is the Perfect Time for a Bourbon Tour

August marks a unique transition—less crowded roads, gorgeous weather, and the calm before fall festivities. Distilleries are still buzzing, but not as packed as peak summer months, making it a fantastic time to book a bourbon experience. You’ll enjoy the warmth of summer without the hustle, and with harvest season just around the corner, bourbon fans get a firsthand look at distilling in action.

Looking for ideas on how to turn your day off into something truly memorable? Here’s how we help you do just that.

Customized Tours That Say Goodbye to Summer in Style

Our end-of-summer bourbon tours are built with celebration in mind. Whether you’re planning a solo escape, a couples’ retreat, or a group outing before everyone’s schedule ramps up again, we tailor the itinerary to your goals. Think private transportation, exclusive tastings, and picturesque Kentucky views—all without the stress of planning.

And if you’re thinking about making your bourbon tour extra special, we’ve got even more options for you.

Add a Special Twist: Seasonal Events and Pairings

August is a fantastic time to explore limited-time bourbon releases, summer cocktails, and live music events hosted by local distilleries. Some tours include special back-to-school send-off packages, brunch pairings, or bourbon slushies perfect for beating the heat. Want to end the day with a memorable meal? We can coordinate a reservation at one of Kentucky’s top-rated restaurants to cap off your summer in style.
