Plan a Getaway Along the Bourbon Trail™
Whether or not you’re a fan of bourbon, you’ve likely heard of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail® in Central Kentucky. This popular tourist destination blends historic craft with modern industry and runs through a considerable portion of the region. The Bourbon Trail™ encompasses destinations like Louisville, Bardstown, Frankfort, Lexington, and Loretto, which means you can not only experience the craft that has played a pivotal role in what makes Kentucky unique, but each of these cities also offers its own exciting sights to see.
This is why so many couples set their eyes on the Bourbon Trail™. Not sure where to begin planning a getaway? Here are a few considerations:
Begin with a Destination
The Kentucky Bourbon Trail® is expansive, so there are many great places to hang your hat along the way. Finding a quaint Airbnb or VRBO rental is the perfect way to find a hidden gem that’s centrally located between the distilleries, unique destinations, and other attractions.
The Old Fashioned Stave Away is a “Bourbon Themed” VRBO situated along the Bourbon Trail® in Frankfort, Kentucky. It’s located close to several distilleries, including Buffalo Trace Distillery, Woodford Reserve Distillery, Castle and Key Distillery, and Glenn's Creek Distillery, making it perfect for those who appreciate the craft and want to experience more than one bourbon distillery. That proximity makes it easy to plan full tasting days without feeling rushed. And, it’s right on the banks of Elkhorn Creek, so you can sip your morning coffee while listening to the lull of the river.
It’s Not Just for Bourbon
Of course, that’s a major appeal. Whether or not you drink bourbon, many tourists still enjoy the Trail because they love watching the timeless craft in action. However, the Bourbon Trail™ is home to multiple parks and natural wonders, including Cove Spring Park & Nature Preserve, Taylorsville Lake State Park, and Lincoln Homestead State Park. These spots are ideal for casual hikes, quiet walks, or simply taking a moment to slow down between activities. When you stay in a Bourbon Trail™ VRBO, you are never far from nature.
Don’t Knock the “Off-Season”
One of the biggest advantages of planning a VRBO Kentucky Bourbon Trail® getaway in the off-season, like wintertime, is the pace. Distilleries tend to be less crowded, reservations are easier to secure, and the experience feels more personal. Restaurants are calmer, scenic drives are quieter, and you have more space to enjoy each stop without feeling like you are moving through a checklist. If you’re a couple who is looking for a destination that offers excitement without feeling overbearing, then the off-season Bourbon Trail™ is right up your alley.
