Additional Information
Join us as we journey through the secret tales of Louisville’s haunted history. As you sample food and spirits along Whiskey Row, you’ll encounter the ghosts that inhabit Louisville’s historical city center, follow the trails of bourbon tycoons and gangsters, uncover concealed speakeasies in the heart of Whiskey Row, and uncover the shocking reality of Prohibition.
During the mid-1800’s, the part of Main Street that is now called Whiskey Row was bursting with bourbon barrels – soon to be deemed illicit. Even though this district was close to ruin, it now boasts historic fronts home to bourbon distilleries, taverns, restaurants, and hotels.
The tour features 5 liquor tastings as well as a variety of snack-sized morsels.

Walking food and drinks tour with amazing guide Jodie! - Me and my friend both learned a lot on our tour. It was a small group of six and it was the perfect size to walk around and explore and ask questions. The food and drinks were great. Jodi was super friendly and informative and really passionate about the city. We definitely recommend for anybody looking to be introduced to Louisville.
