Our guide Kay was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had tastings of hot honey chicken, pizza and ice cream in between tastings of hard cider, bourbon and beer. My only complaint would be there weren’t options for non bourbon or beer drinkers. The tour description I believe states offerings of mocktails. My spouse enjoyed the offerings however. There is a very small amount of walking from place to place if that is a concern of anyone.

It is a walking tour but not very far to walk. Plenty of sitting. Fantastic experience. Will be telling others about it.
