Nashville’s Big Machine Distillery Guided Tour with Tastings

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

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.”
