Buffalo Trace Distillery On Tour 2026: Dates & Cities

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Buffalo Trace Distillery is bringing its traveling tasting experience back on the road this fall. Buffalo Trace Distillery On Tour returns for a second year with stops in four cities: Branson, Missouri; Kansas City, Missouri; Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas; and Denver, Colorado, giving fans outside Frankfort, Kentucky a chance to experience the distillery without leaving home.

The complimentary, reservation-based experience is led by expert hosts who guide guests through four distinctive pours while breaking down the mashbills, tasting notes, and maturation techniques behind each whiskey. Each stop will also offer an exclusive retail lineup of custom, city-specific barware available while supplies last.

About The Tour

“The heart of Buffalo Trace Distillery On Tour is bringing Buffalo Trace closer to our fans and creating more opportunities for them to experience the Distillery beyond Frankfort,” said Erica Bovard, Senior Brand Director, Buffalo Trace Distillery. “We were thrilled by the response to last year’s tour and are excited to build on that momentum by returning to familiar markets and reaching new ones. It is a chance to share our whiskeys, our stories and the craftsmanship behind them with the people who make Buffalo Trace what it is.”

Each city stop will host 14 complimentary tasting sessions over four days, with staggered afternoon and evening time slots. Every guided tasting runs approximately 75 minutes and features Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Eagle Rare 10 Year Old, Weller Antique 107, and the new Sazerac Rye 100 Proof.
