The distillery’s own tours are free, but the drive, the guide and the distilleries around it are worth booking — see what a full day with transfers runs.

About Wes Ratliff

Wes Ratliff, Frankfort-based bourbon-country driver and guide
Wes RatliffFrankfort-based bourbon-country driver and guide — Frankfort, Kentucky, United States

I run an independent guide to Buffalo Trace tour and the bourbon day trips that get you there. I compare the tours so you can book the right one at the right price.

What I do

I’ve driven bourbon-country day trips out of Frankfort since 2016 and sat in the Buffalo Trace reservation queue more Wednesday mornings than I care to count. I research the Buffalo Trace tour available, read through traveller reviews, and write honest, practical guidance on which tour suits which traveller. I’m not a tour operator and I don’t sell tickets — when you’re ready to book, I send you to GetYourGuide, a licensed reseller, to complete your booking.

How I’m funded

I earn a small affiliate commission when you book through my links, at no extra cost to you. That’s what keeps this site free. It never changes which tours I recommend — see my affiliate disclosure for the full picture.
