What is your cancellation policy?

Fourteen (14) days before your scheduled tour date we will contact you to review and confirm all tour details.

We will process your payment for the remaining tour balance including the ticketing expense at the end of the tour day.

The final tour balance payment will be non-refundable.

How far in advance should
we book with BRBN Experiences?

We recommend at least 2-3 months ahead of your planned visit to enable us to secure tickets for the more popular distilleries. Shorter advance booking can be accommodated depending on the season and desired tour days (weekends are the busiest).

What are your accomodations?

Most distilleries are accessible. We can discuss this when booking your tour to assure we do everything to make your tour safe and enjoyable.

What do I wear and bring?

Most Importantly - If you plan on participating in a tour or tasting, you must bring a valid form of identification.

The dress code is "bourbon enthusiast casual," but some distilleries may require closed-toe footwear. The tours frequently include an outdoor component so watch the weather and pack accordingly.

You are encouraged to bring your favorite snacks and beverages. We will provide coolers, ice, and water; however, open alcoholic beverages aren't allowed on distillery properties. Please be aware of any food allergies in your group.

What type of vehicle
will be used for our tours?

Groups of 1-14 will be in a well maintained BRBN sedan, SUV, or Sprinter van. For groups larger than 15 we will be utilizing an executive motor coach. We offer many vehicle options that are designed to meet your budget and style. Unlike some tour companies, we won't offer to "upgrade" your vehicle just to increase our profitability.

Do the distilleries offer bourbon
or specialty cocktails on-site?

Quite a few distilleries have bars that proudly feature their bourbon products and specialty cocktails on-site for a market-based price. We can facilitate time in your tour day to experience and enjoy this unique opportunity.

Where will we have
that relaxing and enjoyable lunch?

We partner with wonderful nearby restaurants that feature local and regional artisan culinary specialties (and most likely a well-stocked bar with Kentucky's favorites). Please let us know in the tour planning process if you have special restaurant requests or dietary restrictions for your group.

Can I bring children or pets?

Kids are welcome as long as the distilleries allow them access. Due to allergies and logistics, pets are not encouraged except for service animals. Obviously, both of these must be agreeable to your group.

How do I book a tour?

You can call us, email us, or message us on Instagram, Facebook, and through our website!

We will set up a phone call to discuss your BRBN Experience Tour.

Since our tours are personally curated, having an engaging and entertaining conversation enhances your experience. We always attempt to respond to requests for information from a BRBN Experiences Tour Coordinator within 24 hours or less.

Can I tip my tour leader?

In order to support and show gratitude to our professional BRBN Tour Leaders, you will have the option on your final invoice to include a gratuity.

Please consider their importance to your group's BRBN Experience and provide as appropriate. Alternative tip options can be discussed with the Tour Leader at the conclusion of your day.
