Christine's Pick

Why We Recommend It

If you only have one afternoon and want to taste what Nashville is famous for, this hits the two essentials. Hot chicken is Nashville's signature dish. Tennessee whiskey is its signature drink. The format is smart: one classic distillery (Nelson's Green Brier helped establish Tennessee whiskey's national reputation) plus one modern, experimental one (Nashville Barrel Co. for high-proof small-batch bourbon and rye). Different vibes, complete picture.

What's Included

What You Get on This Tour

Hattie B's Hot Chicken

A full meal of crispy tenders + house-made sides. Choose your heat level from mild to "shut the cluck up." This is the dish Nashville is famous for.

Nelson's Green Brier Distillery

A restored piece of whiskey history. Walk through the production process and taste their flagship Belle Meade Bourbon plus signature spirits.

Nashville Barrel Co.

A modern up-and-coming distillery known for high-proof, small-batch bourbon and rye. Learn about barrel aging and blending. Several hand-selected pours.

Roundtrip Transport

Pickup and drop-off at the Omni Hotel downtown. Cooler, ice, and water on the bus. BYOB allowed for the ride (beer/seltzer only).

Local Guide & Driver

A Nashville guide who knows the hot chicken scene, the whiskey makers, and the history of both. Plus a professional driver so you don't worry about logistics.

Small-Group Format

Maximum 14 guests so the experience stays personal. You're not on a tour bus full of strangers.

A perfect way to experience two top distilleries without worrying about planning a thing.Hattie B's was the best hot chicken we had all trip. The distillery tours were fascinating and the tastings were generous. Highly recommend.

Super fun and informative.The small group made it feel personalized, and both distilleries offered a totally different vibe. Nelson's history versus Barrel Co.'s modern approach. Would 100% recommend.
