The hilltop stop on the Lawrenceburg pair
Wild Turkey Distillery is at 1417 Versailles Road in Lawrenceburg, and the brand's own visit page describes it as sitting on top of Wild Turkey Hill. It is about 75 minutes from downtown Louisville and about 30 minutes from Signature Aviation at Lexington's Blue Grass Airport. The easiest way to use it is as the second half of a Frankfort or Versailles day: tour Wild Turkey in the afternoon, then ride about 15 minutes to Four Roses, or head home.
A Lawrenceburg afternoon
Mornings in this corridor usually belong to Buffalo Trace or Woodford Reserve. Wild Turkey slots in after lunch: about 30 minutes from Buffalo Trace, or about 25 from Woodford. If the group still has energy, the Four Roses distillery is about 15 minutes away. If not, the ride home to Louisville is about 75 minutes, and nobody in the group is driving.
Lexington-based pickups
Wild Turkey is closer to Lexington than to Louisville. We pick up at Lexington hotels, and private flyers arriving at Signature Aviation at Blue Grass Airport are about 30 minutes away. A Lexington start makes Wild Turkey and Woodford a short, relaxed pairing.
Getting there from Louisville
From downtown Louisville, the drive is about 75 minutes, roughly 56 miles. From SDF, about 80 minutes. From downtown Jeffersonville, about 75 minutes. Louisville hotels, homes and SDF arrivals with flight tracking are all routine pickups.
Planning the visit
We have not confirmed food service at Wild Turkey, so eat before you arrive. The John G. Carlisle Cafe at Buffalo Trace or a restaurant from Woodford Reserve's area list both work for lunch earlier in the day. The visit page is mostly a booking tool, so read the details there when you reserve. Bring a valid photo ID and a layer for the hilltop.
Pairing with Four Roses or Woodford Reserve
Four Roses in Lawrenceburg is about 15 minutes away. Woodford Reserve in Versailles is about 25 minutes away. The Lawrenceburg variant of our Frankfort and Versailles loop runs Woodford, then Wild Turkey, then Four Roses.
A sample Lawrenceburg day from Louisville
A full day built around Wild Turkey might run like this. A morning pickup in Louisville and about 70 minutes to Buffalo Trace for a late-morning tour and lunch at its cafe. Then about 30 minutes to Wild Turkey for the afternoon tour you reserved, a short ride of about 15 minutes to Four Roses if the timing works, and about 75 minutes home. Total driving is roughly three hours and ten minutes, so this is a day for groups who enjoy the ride.
A shorter version skips Four Roses and heads home straight from the hill. A Lexington-based version is shorter still: Woodford Reserve in the late morning, Wild Turkey in the afternoon, and about 30 minutes back to the hotel. If the group is splitting the day between bourbon and a Lexington dinner, tell us the restaurant and we will plan the last leg from Lawrenceburg to Lexington instead of back to Louisville.
What to send us
Send the Wild Turkey tour time from its booking page, the other stops and their times, where the group plans to eat, and the pickup address in Louisville or Lexington. If you are adding Four Roses, confirm the Lawrenceburg distillery address is on that reservation, since Four Roses also has a site in Coxs Creek.
Reserve your tour directly
Reserve your tour and tasting directly with Wild Turkey on its website. Send us your times, and your chauffeur handles the driving and the timing between stops.
Choosing a vehicle
An executive van suits one private group that wants a quiet ride from Lexington. A shuttle carries a larger guest list on a set schedule. A luxury SUV fits a couple or a small family. See our fleet page for vehicle sizes. Every chauffeur is background-checked and trained; our safety standards are on the safety page.
