Nashville’s Big Machine Distillery Guided Tour with Tastings

3.Nashville’s Big Machine Distillery Guided Tour with Tastings

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 356 reviews · 45 minutes (approx.)

You’ll spend about 45 minutes with a guide such as Jim, Haley, Ally, or Patrick, touring Big Machine’s production area and tasting room. See how corn becomes vodka, then sample a flight of spirits in the upstairs VIP lounge. The tour ends in the shop and bar, where you can buy bottles, merchandise, cocktails, and desserts.

“The tour of the Big Machine Distillery was great, very interesting, informative, and fun! We got to do tastings of their vodka, rum, and whiskey, all of which were very good. The only reason I gave 4 stars, is because the Viator description says it includes a cocktail, but when we were there, we were told it doesn't. Still definitely worth the $15 though! We still stayed afterwards and had a cocktail at their bar.”

“Fun and informative tour of a local distillery with history back into the 1800. The tour guide was friendly and the whiskey was good but definitely not for new drinkers. Although you’re drinking straight whiskey/bourbon you could pick up the flavors that are mentioned. I would suggest even if you don’t like whiskey!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 106 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $199

Spend about six hours visiting three rotating craft distilleries near Nashville, with 3 to 5 whiskey samples at each stop. Jimmy, Tom, or Paul may lead the day, adding local history and humor while you ride in a minibus, stop for lunch, and leave the driving to someone else.

“Jimmy was really fun and encouraged the different groups to interact with each other to lighten the mood. We were taken to three different distilleries in the Nashville area and to be honest, I was floored by the quality (and quantity, lol) of the spirits we got to sample. The history of booze in the state was pretty interesting also. The best part was having someone else do the driving so you can really enjoy the company and spirits. Will definitely do it again.”
