Ballpark ‘Tours just completed it 2019 Kentucky Bourbon Tour:
- Approximately 1,600 motorcoach miles.
- Eight games in five cities.
- The opportunity to enjoy Chicago’s 36th Annual Blues Fest (and more live music along the way).
- The opportunity to visit museums ranging from the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory to The Mary Todd Lincoln House to The Chicago Art Institute (and more – even a hotel with an art museum right inside of it).
- Touring and tasting at one of the nation’s oldest distilleries.
- Two nights of fireworks – and the appearance of The Amazing Tyler.
- Whiskey Wednesday, Thirsty Thursday and 25-cent Hot Dog Night.
- Bloody Mary, Moscow Mule and Long Bottom Stretch Bars on the bus.
- Tequila, not just for breakfast anymore (and, now, neither is bourbon).
- A winery, distillery, restaurant/bar, ice cream parlor and fruit/vegetable sales all on the same (Huber Family) farm.
- The Kane County Beer Cave; The Cubby Bear (Wrigleyville); The Slippery Noodle Inn (oldest bar in Indiana) and the Big Daddy Caddy Band; The (bustling) Mussel & Burger Bar (Louisville); and Mike’s amazing driving skills.
