Broadway's Big Machine Distillery Guided Tour with Tastings
4.81
Description
Step off Lower Broadway’s neon and into Big Machine Distillery for a focused, 45-minute guided tour that combines behind-the-scenes production access with a curated tasting flight. In the heart of downtown Nashville you’ll see how small-batch corn and grain spirits are distilled, filtered, and aged, then taste signature pours that range from smooth Tennessee whiskey to flavored vodkas and specialty liqueurs. Your knowledgeable local guide explains each stage—mash bills, filtration, barrel-aging—and translates technical steps into clear tasting notes and practical mixing tips. The mood is casual and interactive: expect hands-on sampling, Q&A, and stories about Nashville’s modern craft-distilling scene. The walkable Broadway location makes this an ideal pre-show stop, finishing with time to shop bottles or step straight into nearby live-music venues. Groups are intentionally small to maximize tasting time and one-on-one interaction, and staff can advise on bottle purchases after the tour. If you need accessibility accommodations, please contact us before booking so we can assist.
