What a wild disappointment. I do believe we came on and an off day, based on reviews and…read morerecommendations from friends, but our experience was so wildly unacceptable that I'm not sure it matters if we were an outlier. Our experience started at parking, there were multiple tour busses idling in the lot, and cars were parked rather haphazardly. We were directed to park on the side of the road with such a steep drop off, at one point our Yukon had two wheels off the ground. When checking in to the the $35/person tour (which we booked two weeks ago) I mentioned the parking situation and was told "yeah it's really bad, but we're working on it." I don't own a distillery, but seems an obvious solve is asking the tour buses to park up the road by the gift shop vs taking up space in the lot. We were eager to join our tour and forget about the stressful lot but alas, our tour was an absolute shit show. I stopped counting when I hit to 50 people, our tour guide had a loud speaker, most people in the tour were drunk and talking over him, and for the first time in many many tours, we walked off before we ever got a chance to try anything. There is no reason but greed to not cap a tour, they were making close to 2 grand off a miserable experience for their guests. Again, I do think it was likely an outlier but we will never be back, and I will ensure no one I know ever goes either.

High quality ingredients from locally sourced farms, including Freedom Run for lamb, Fischer Farm for the beef dish, and several others. Easily equivalent to a meal at a high end restaurant and we learned how to replicate this at home. We also received a 10% discount card for 30 days following our program to shop in the merchandise section of the store.

With limited time in a city,…read morethey're a great way to get a feel for the area and to pick out places you'd like to revisit. Heck, we've even taken tours in our own city! Very fun. This tour was no exception. We had a very enjoyable afternoon, got to see a lot of different things, learn a bit about the history of Louisville, and try some delicious foods. The format of this tour is as such: the bus drops you off at a location for 30-60 minutes, giving you time to explore while City Taste runs off to pick up food from a local eatery. When you get back on the bus, there's a taste (and a drink) to be eaten as you drive on to the next stop. The benefit of this is that you get to experience AND taste bits of Louisville, instead of one or the other. The drawback is that there is sometimes a bit of waiting around for the bus to return. On our tour, we stopped at Schimpffs candy shop, Churchill Downs (where we took a tour), Old Louisville, Louisville Slugger OR NULU (we were given an option), and the Belle of Louisville. Our favorite stop was Old Louisville by far. What a BEAUTIFUL area with such rich history! The food we had was fried green tomatoes, hush puppies, hot brown pizza, pulled pork and potato salad, and Derby Pie. All were delicious, but the particular favorites were the hush puppies and the hot brown pizza. Alongside came a variety of drinks... we weren't huge fans of the flavored beers and wines (vanilla, strawberry, etc.) but we liked the bourbon tastings, the bourbon coffee, and the mint julep at the end. For reference, the food quantity was enough to keep us mostly satisfied but not amounting to a full meal replacement. I wouldn't eat a huge lunch before you go, but I also wouldn't show up hungry. City Taste Tours was extremely accommodating and gracious to our family. I realize these tours aren't geared toward kids specifically, but they went out of their way to make it enjoyable for everyone on board. If you're looking for a tour that's a bit of everything, a "taste" of all tours, this is the one for you. It's quirky, fun, and a great way to spend an afternoon in Louisville. **One last thing I'd mention: we booked a private tour, mostly because we just didn't want to take away from anyone else's experience by bringing 6 kids along. We were surprised to find out after being picked up that the bus was picking up other riders as well. It honestly worked out TOTALLY fine - it was a great couple that came along with us - but I just mention this to warn someone who actually cares a lot about it being a private tour... you might want to double check that they don't somehow overlook your private reservation and add extra people to your group.

Becoming an executive bourbon steward has been on my bucket list for a bit. So happy that I was…read morefinally able to do this! I attended the executive bourbon steward class at Moonshine University on Friday. It was a day filled with bourbon, bourbon science, bourbon tasting, bourbong smelling, bourbon history and more. While I know I have much more still to learn, this class left me feeling like I can make my way through a bourbon tasting -- even creating a tasting flight of my own! -- and talk about bourbon like I know something about it. And more than anything, it left me with even more appreciation for Kentucky's native spirit. The day started with a tasting and that set the tone for the rest of the day, which included classroom time and time in the miniature distillery that's connected to the classroom. Each student also took home a sensory kit with 30+ smells to learn so that we can better pick them out during a tasting. This was my favorite part of the whole experience. It's much harder to pick out something like banana (even though we've smelled and tasted them hundreds of time) than you think, much less more complex smells like leather. I liked how our instructor talked about assigning a sensory memory to each so that we can remember them more easily. Maybe it was the bourbon we had enjoyed that day so far, but I feel like about halfway through the sensory section I could start to better pick out these scents and flavors. And our instructor, Colin, kept everything informative and entertaining. You can tell how much passion he has for bourbon and was engaging throughout the day. The facility is great in that it has the classroom and distillery right next to each other. The executive bourbon steward program has a hefty pricetag, but if you have the means and passion I would definitely encourage it. I'm honored to now be a member of the Stave & Thief Society.

Absolutely loved this place, the course and the people who put it together…read more I must say I didn't really know what to expect at a place like "Moonshine U". But these guys have professionally put together a wonderful curriculum that would teach a monkey how to make booze. And it's much more than that. This place really has an all star cast of teachers and speakers, all very willing to help any one out. All the speakers had decades of experience in the industry. Most of which Wer enjoyable to listen to. But I can't stress enough that if your thinking about going into the spirits industry, educate yourself. If your wondering where to go, look no further. Moonshine U lays it on thick in all the right places. Branding, business, finance, blending and mixing, and much much more. And the best part is they really know what theyr talking about. The speakers talk from honest trials and tribulations through their own experiences. I cant say enough how wonderful these people are. Truly delightful people here. I made some wonderful contacts and learned so much, I definitely got my money's worth. Not to mention all of the food was delicious. They were not skimpy in any way what so ever. Seriously folks, this place changed my life. In business and personally. I thank you all at Moonshine University for giving me the opportunity at a better chance in the spirit industry. Till next time, Cheers!
