Nashville to Jack Daniel’s Distillery Bus Tour + Whiskey Tastings

1.Nashville to Jack Daniel’s Distillery Bus Tour + Whiskey Tastings

★★★★★★★★★★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.”
