The Top 4 Whiskey Tours in Nashville

When it comes to whiskey, Tennessee pours it straight—and Nashville is the perfect place to sip, learn, and explore. While many visitors think of Jack Daniel’s first (and yes, we offer a full-day tour to Lynchburg if that’s your dream), you don’t need to leave the city to experience the best of Tennessee whiskey culture. In fact, some of the best tastings, tours, and cocktail experiences are right here in town.

If you’re short on time or just want to stay local, Nashville’s homegrown distilleries offer curated tastings, behind-the-scenes tours, and stories that bring the history of Tennessee whiskey to life. A great way to experience them is on the hop-on-hop-off shuttle that runs continuous loops to some of the city's most beloved craft breweries and distilleries.  Other more personalized experiences are guided by passionate whiskey experts—and some even include hands-on cocktail classes where you’ll learn to mix the perfect Old Fashioned or whiskey sour with locally distilled spirits.

For a well-rounded tasting experience, a popular private multi-stop distillery bus tour lets you visit several unique producers in one day with just your crew group. These full-day tours are social, scenic, and packed with pours—no additional planning required.

And if you’re a true whiskey enthusiast, the Jack Daniel’s Distillery Day Trip remains a bucket list favorite. You’ll travel in comfort, tour the historic site, enjoy a premium tasting, and even stop for a Southern-style lunch in Lynchburg before heading back.

Whether you're looking for a quick tasting, a cocktail deep dive, or a smooth day trip, Nashville whiskey tours offer something for everyone—from curious sippers to seasoned connoisseurs.
