THE RIDE

Model‑T–style open‑air cruising

The tour uses a Model‑T–style (electric Ford Model T / replica golf cart) vehicle that offers a relaxed, open‑air ride through downtown Nashville, letting you soak up the city’s streets, murals and landmarks between beverage stops.

THE SCENE

Stops at Nashville’s local producers

Stops can include Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery, Tennessee Legend Distillery and Yee‑Haw Brewing Company, among other downtown favorites, so you’ll sample the range of Nashville’s small‑batch spirits and craft ales depending on the day’s route.

THE TASTINGS

Tastings on site; plan for timing

Tastings are available for purchase directly at each location (drinks are not included in the tour price); because some distilleries close as early as 5 PM, earlier tour times are recommended to reach the full slate of stops.
