Kentucky Bourbon Festival 2018

Bardstown, Kentucky is the Bourbon Capital of the World and the home of the Kentucky Bourbon Festival, which draws people to our quaint little town for a week of celebrating the storied history and art of distilling America's native spirit. 

The Kentucky Bourbon Festival began in 1992 as a Bourbon tasting and dinner that has grown tremendously over the past 26 years. Today, it is not only a celebration of Bourbon but also the community that has supported the industry for generations. Distillery tours, mixology classes, tastings, dinners and more run throughout the week.
