At Jack Daniels, you’ll get a firsthand look at the distillery where one of the “local fellows” will guide you on a tour and tell you the complete story of the whiskey. And you’ll probably hear an interesting story or two about Mr. Jack as well. At the Visitor Center the story of Jack’s life is told with rare mementos.
You’ll have lunch at Miss Mary Bobo’s Boarding House now in its 100th year of operation. You’ll enjoy down-home Southern cooking served family style just like Mr. Jack did a century ago. Tip is included.
Note: The Distillery Tour is mostly outdoors and involves a lot of walking and steps so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. And don’t let this prevent you from taking this tour. There are provisions made for those in wheelchairs or motorized scooters so make sure you give notice immediately upon making your reservation for this tour so that staff can be properly prepared for your visit.
