Giving Back at Bluegrass Bourbon Tours
At Bluegrass Bourbon Tours, we’re passionate about sharing the rich heritage of Kentucky bourbon with our guests. But our passion extends beyond the distillery walls. We believe in giving back to the community that supports us, and that’s why we’re proud to partner with the incredible organizations described below.
Supporting Second Chances: The Prisoner’s Hope
Melanie Lopez, the owner of Bluegrass Bourbon Tours, is a strong advocate for restorative justice. She is committed to supporting The Prisoner’s Hope, a faith-based ministry that provides critical support to men, women, and their families impacted by incarceration.
🥃 Transforming Lives: The Prisoner’s Hope offers a unique program of holistic care, with mentoring and counseling services offered before, during, and after incarceration. Their focus goes beyond simply reducing recidivism rates. They aim to transform individuals and families, creating a ripple effect of positive change throughout the community.
🥃 Impressive Results: In just nine years, The Prisoner’s Hope has helped over 1,000 people and boasts a 70% success rate in helping individuals reintegrate into society after prison. These numbers speak volumes about the effectiveness of their programs.
🥃 How You Can Help: You can be a part of the solution! Visit The Prisoner’s Hope website (www.ThePrisonersHope.Life) to learn more about donating or volunteering your time.
Honoring Heroes: USA Cares
Melanie, a US veteran herself, is deeply committed to supporting those who have served our country. That’s why Bluegrass Bourbon Tours is proud to be a sponsor of USA Cares’ annual “We Salute You” Gala.
🥃 USA Cares Mission: This organization provides vital assistance to veterans and military families facing financial hardship. Their support includes grants for service-connected emergencies, combat injury relief, career transition assistance, and housing aid.
🥃 The Gala: Join us in celebrating USA Cares at their upcoming gala on Saturday, July 27th, 2024 at The Galt House in Louisville, KY. This black-tie optional event features a gourmet dinner, silent and live auctions, and a powerful presentation from retired Major General Julie Bentz.

Mix.Weigh.Seal.Ship: Lifeline Christian Mission
At Bluegrass Bourbon Tours, we’re passionate about sharing Kentucky’s rich Bourbon heritage, but our passion extends beyond the distilleries. We believe in giving back to the community and partnering with three incredible organizations:
🥃 Lifeline Christian Mission: A global organization mobilizing individuals and groups to serve vulnerable communities worldwide.
🥃 Impact: Lifeline helps families become self-sufficient, communities become healthier, children thrive, and churches spread the Gospel. (Learn more: https://www.lifeline.org/)
🥃 Mission: Spark lives on a mission for God, focusing on planting churches, empowering youth, mobilizing local churches, providing health and nutrition, and creating sustainable economic development.
Giving Back with Purpose: Supporting Wounded Warrior Project®
At Bluegrass Bourbon Tours, founder Melanie Lopez believes unforgettable adventures should do more than create memories — they should give back. That’s why we’re proud to support the Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP), an organization dedicated to honoring, empowering, and uplifting the brave service members who’ve sacrificed for our country.
🥃 About Wounded Warrior Project®: What began in 2003 as a grassroots effort delivering comfort items to wounded service members has grown into a nationwide movement. Today, Wounded Warrior Project® provides life-changing programs — from mental health and career counseling to long-term rehabilitative care — to help post-9/11 veterans and their families thrive.
🥃 Make an impact: When you book with Bluegrass Bourbon Tours, you’re not just enjoying a memorable day on the Bourbon Trail — you’re also supporting warriors and their families. It’s our way of giving back and honoring those who’ve sacrificed for our country.
🥃 Every action counts. Together, we can help warriors heal, rebuild their lives, and continue to be a positive force in their families and communities. Learn more, get involved, or make a donation today at.
Supporting Beautiful As You Are (B.A.Y.A)
At Bluegrass Bourbon Tours, we’re proud to support Beautiful As You Are (BAYA), a movement dedicated to empowering individuals to embrace their unique beauty and build lasting self-confidence.
🥃 Empowering Youth: BAYA provides workshops, seminars, and resources that help young people develop self-esteem, resilience, and a strong sense of purpose through practical activities and community events.
🥃 Promoting Self-Love and Acceptance: Founded by author Tish, BAYA encourages individuals of all ages to celebrate their strengths and imperfections, breaking free from societal pressures to foster authentic self-acceptance.
