Buckle up for a wild ride through Kentucky and Tennessee that'll have you sipping premium bourbon one day and tearing up gnarly trails the next. This 4-night trip packs a serious punch, blending the smooth flavors of America's favorite whiskey with the heart-pounding thrills of offroad driving. Whether you're a bourbon connoisseur, an adrenaline junkie, or just looking to shake up your usual vacation routine, this premium package has got you covered.
We kick things off in the heart of bourbon country, where you'll get to tour and taste at some of Kentucky's most legendary distilleries along the Bourbon Trail. Think Maker's Mark, Jim Beam, and Wild Turkey – the heavy hitters of the whiskey world. But don't get too comfy, because we're trading those leather chairs for bucket seats as we head to Windrock Park. This massive 73,000-acre playground is an offroader's dream, with trails ranging from "piece of cake" Level 1 to "hold onto your hat" Level 9. Our expert guides know these trails like the back of their hand, so whether you're a total newbie or a seasoned pro, we've got your back.
The beauty of this trip is in the contrast. One minute you're strolling through perfectly manicured distillery grounds, the next you're bouncing over rocky terrain with mud flying everywhere. At Windrock, you've got options – bring your own trusty OHV if you've got one, or rent a certified beast ready to tackle whatever the trails throw at you. We're talking wide-open paths with killer views, tight and twisty sections that'll test your skills, and everything in between. And when you're not burning rubber, we'll take some time to soak in the natural beauty of the Smoky Mountains. It's like mixing a smooth Old Fashioned with a shot of pure adrenaline.
This ain't your average camping trip. The Premium Package means you're living large with luxury digs each night. After a day of tasting or tearing up trails, you'll kick back in comfort, swapping stories over gourmet meals (all included, by the way). We've taken care of all the boring stuff like park fees and accommodations, so you can focus on the important things – like deciding which bourbon was your favorite or reliving that gnarly hill climb you conquered.
Whether you geek out over engine specs or mash bills, this trip's got something for everyone. On the bourbon side, you'll learn the ins and outs of how this amber nectar is made, from grain to glass. Our distillery tours go deep, covering everything from the perfect barrel char to the science behind those delicious flavors. When it comes to the offroading, our guides are walking encyclopedias of OHV knowledge. They'll break down the best line choices, teach you how to read the terrain, and maybe even share a few tricks for getting unstuck (hey, it happens to the best of us).
Folks keep coming back to this trip for good reason. It's the perfect mix of relaxation and excitement, culture and adventure. Where else can you start your day with a world-class bourbon tasting and end it covered in mud, grinning from ear to ear? Plus, with the Premium Package, you're getting the VIP treatment from start to finish. It's like having your cake and eating it too – if your cake was made of bourbon and adrenaline.
We've timed this trip for late September (25th-29th) to hit that sweet spot. The summer crowds have thinned out, but the weather's still perfect for both sipping and ripping. The changing leaves in the Smokies add an extra layer of awesome to your offroad adventures. Plus, there's something about that crisp fall air that makes bourbon taste even better (if that's possible).
Look, we could go on all day about how awesome this trip is, but why not experience it for yourself? Spots are limited, and trust us, they fill up fast. This is your chance to tick two big items off your bucket list in one go – exploring the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and conquering some of the best offroad terrain the South has to offer. Don't miss out on this perfect blend of smooth and rowdy. Grab your spot now, and get ready for a vacation that'll have you raising a glass and raising some dust. Just remember, deposits are non-refundable, so when you're in, you're all in. See you on the trail!
