Your Bardstown Experience Starts Here.

Taste of Bardstown Tours was created to help visitors experience Bardstown the way we believe it should be experienced: like a local, with a local.

Experience Bardstown with the people who actually live here.

Taste the food we love. Sip bourbon where locals gather. Step inside historic places you'd probably walk right past. And hear the stories that don't always make it into the guidebooks.

Whether you’re joining us for bourbon and bites, exploring downtown history, or experiencing Bardstown with a private group, our goal is simple: to make you feel less like a tourist and more like a guest in our hometown.

Come hungry. Come curious. Leave knowing Bardstown a little better than when you arrived.
