Immersing yourself in Kentucky’s horse country, through one of Mint Julep Tours’ customized trips, will just provide another reason to love this time of year even more than you thought possible. After experiencing the beautiful scenery of central Kentucky’s open farm country, you could have the chance to tour a world-famous horse farm and see some of the thoroughbreds up close! Touring the facilities and speaking with the people that make the operations run smoothly will provide a whole new insight into horse racing’s most beloved day. Tours may also include a visit to our city’s own Churchill Downs track to learn about the history of our favorite sport. If you love Louisville, you will love an in-depth look into Kentucky horse country.

Many Bluegrass natives have already experienced the world of horse racing in some way or another. If this is the case for you, check out the Kentucky Bourbon Trail or Louisville’s culinary scene instead! Each tour provides a unique look into what makes our beautiful state unlike any other.

On a culinary tour, view a live taping of “Secrets of Louisville Chefs” at Bourbon Barrel Foods. You will also enjoy a meeting with some of our city’s top culinary experts. Kentucky’s food and bourbon experiences are sure to delight!
