★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,906 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $139Our pick

Ride from downtown Nashville to Lynchburg for a guided Jack Daniel’s Distillery visit, production stories, and a whiskey flight in the historic George Green Barrel House. Guides such as Frank, Jacob, and Miranda are known for lively local stories. The 9 a.m. departure also gives you time for lunch and shopping in town.

“Good value tour. There were several time departure options. We were able to get two slots on the 9:00am departure from near the Omni Hotel and returned around 4:15pm that day. Frank the coach driver was fun and clear in his communication. Jacob on the Jack Daniels tour team was a gracious and knowledgeable guide. It was an interesting learning experience even if you’re not a whisky connoisseur. The tour ended with a whisky flight tasting. We then grabbed lunch in the town, Lynchburg (extra $). It’s an easy and fun day trip that still gives you the evening in Nashville, if you catch the 9:00am departure.”

He is knowledgable about the wines at each winery and was flexible with the weather and our preferences. Brian made lunch reservations at Brys and that was delicious. The price per person for the tour is very reasonable. We would recommend this tour to friends and family.”
