Kentucky Bourbon Trail Food Guide

A Full Day in Downtown Louisville

Kentucky's largest city also happens to make the perfect backdrop for a Southern night out. Next to the Ohio River along the Indiana border, derbys, sluggers, whiskey and cigars are the name of the game in Louisville. By day, fill up on buttery biscuits and sip some of America’s finest spirits while touring distilleries along Whiskey Row. And by night, dine with a view of Churchill Downs – the legendary home of the Kentucky Derby – and let the night fade into the wee hours of the morning as you sip on smoky old fashioneds and puff on specialty cigars.
