Couples Getaway: Planning the Ultimate Romantic Bourbon Tour Weekend

April 03, 20254 min read

Private Bourbon Tours for Two in the Heart of Kentucky

When it comes to weekend getaways, there’s something undeniably special about escaping to Kentucky for a romantic bourbon tour. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a surprise getaway, or just looking to reconnect, a couples bourbon trip offers the perfect mix of charm, relaxation, and adventure. And with April's blooming landscapes and mild weather, it’s one of the best times to experience a private bourbon tour built just for two.

Why a Romantic Bourbon Tour is the Perfect Weekend Escape

A romantic bourbon tour is more than just sipping whiskey—it’s about creating memories together. Couples who love travel and tasting experiences will appreciate how Kentucky's distilleries blend southern hospitality, craftsmanship, and scenery into an unforgettable retreat. Compared to crowded tourist traps or cookie-cutter hotel packages, private bourbon tours give you intimacy, flexibility, and a touch of luxury.

April is especially ideal: the weather is crisp but pleasant, the spring foliage adds color to every route, and the bourbon scene isn’t as busy as peak summer. You get the benefits of the season without the hassle of large crowds. Plus, many distilleries offer seasonal releases and small-batch tasting experiences that are perfect for sharing.

Customizing a Private Bourbon Tour for Two

The beauty of booking with Bluegrass Bourbon Tours is that we do the heavy lifting so you can focus on each other. Our private bourbon tours for couples are fully customizable, allowing you to choose your pace, preferences, and ideal stops. Whether you want to explore iconic names like Maker’s Mark or hidden craft distilleries like Castle & Key, we create an itinerary that feels like it was made just for you.

Want to pair your tour with scenic stops or local artisan markets? We can include those too. Some couples even opt to add a romantic detour to a horse farm or a walk through the Shaker Village. Whatever vibe you’re going for—rustic, elegant, or adventurous—we’ll make sure your weekend matches your style.

Romantic Stops & Distilleries to Consider

Here are a few favorites that set the stage for a cozy, romantic outing:

  • Woodford Reserve: The beautiful grounds and intimate tastings make it a great first stop.

  • Bardstown Bourbon Company: Offers modern flair and a full restaurant, perfect for a sit-down lunch together.

  • Castle & Key: With its restored castle setting and garden views, this one is made for romantic photo ops.

  • Wilderness Trail: Ideal for couples who want to learn the science behind the sip, with fewer crowds and a slower pace.

If you’re not sure where to start, we’re happy to recommend based on your taste preferences and ideal itinerary length. We take the time to understand what you and your partner love—and that means you’ll never feel rushed or stuck on a generic tour route.

Dinner, Drop-Offs, and Date Night Details

Your experience doesn’t end when the tastings do. We can coordinate dinner reservations at one of the many fine dining options near your final distillery stop. Whether it's a candlelit steakhouse in Lexington or a cozy spot in Bardstown with a bourbon cocktail list, we’ll make sure your evening ends on a high note.

And yes—we’ll handle the transportation. From pick-up at your hotel or Airbnb to private drop-off at dinner and back, every detail is covered. No designated driver debates, no map stress. Just you, your partner, and a day of tasting, toasting, and reconnecting.

Frequently Ask Questions About Romantic Bourbon Tours for Couples

Do we have to love bourbon to enjoy the tour? Not at all! Many stops also include history, scenery, and food experiences. We customize the tour based on your interests.

What’s the ideal tour length for couples? Most couples enjoy 2-3 distillery visits in a day with time to relax and explore in between. We recommend a full day for the most immersive experience.

Can we celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or proposal? Absolutely. Let us know and we’ll help add thoughtful touches like a celebratory bottle, dessert, or scenic photo stop.

Is this experience only available in spring? Not at all! We offer romantic bourbon tours year-round, but April is especially beautiful and crowd-free.
