The usual work is I-64 hotel pickups, downtown weddings, and through-trips that continue to Frankfort, Lexington, or SDF.
Distillery day starting in Shelbyville, KY
Bourbon Tour Transportation from Shelbyville is a private day on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, built around the stops you name. the Shelbyville historic district may be on that list when it is actually in Shelby County. It is not automatically the first tasting. Clermont, Bardstown, Versailles, Frankfort, and the Marion County road toward Loretto are common anchors, and they are not one neighborhood.
I-64, US-60, and KY-55 are how the group covers the gaps. A reservation at a distillery is a fixed time. The chauffeur can be early. The still house will not hold the tour because the previous stop ran long, unless that slack was in the hours you booked.
You keep your distillery reservations. We keep the vehicle moving between them and back to Shelbyville or the hotel you named.
- Named stops Jim Beam at Clermont, the Bardstown stops, Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace, and the Loretto road are specific. "The Trail" is not.
- Dwell time Time inside a distillery counts as much as time on the road.
- The chauffeur drives Tastings are the passengers' business. The driver stays the driver.

Pickups near the Shelbyville historic district are routine. Your chauffeur waits at each stop, so everyone can taste and nobody has to drive.
What if my flight is delayed?

Can you pick us up at the airport and go straight to the distilleries?
Yes. Send your flight number, and we'll track it, meet you at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF), and head out on your plan. If your landing time is uncertain, keep the first stop close and save the farther distilleries for the next day.
Do you arrange distillery tour reservations?
Please reserve tours with each distillery, since many fill weeks ahead. Once you have times, send them with your quote request, and your chauffeur will plan the route so you arrive early for each one. We'll leave room for lunch and a little shopping.
Is there space for bourbon purchases on board?
Our shuttle buses include secure bottle storage, and our SUVs have extra luggage space, so your purchases ride safely back to Shelbyville. If you're flying home, check airline and TSA rules for spirits before you pack, and ask the distillery whether it ships to your state.
Is the bourbon tour driver with us all day?
Yes. Distillery days are usually booked as-directed, which means your chauffeur stays with you from the first pickup to the last drop-off in Shelbyville. The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, so there's no waiting on a shared ride between tours.
Can I book an airport pickup for someone else?
Absolutely. Book it under your name and add the passenger's name and cell number so the chauffeur can greet them and reach them if needed. We track the flight, so a delay simply shifts the pickup instead of leaving your guest waiting.
