You’ve probably seen photos of this magical train ride through central Kentucky, and perhaps you’ve even ridden it yourself. But did you know that they have rides that are all about bourbon? Once a month, My Old Kentucky Dinner Train pays tribute to one of the Bluegrass State’s favorite things and gives you the ride of a lifetime on their “Bourbon Excursion.”

Images of My Old Kentucky Dinner Train, sailing through the Kentucky countryside, have become quite iconic. This stunning locomotive allows you to step back in time and have a unique, unforgettable experience. They offer rides, dinners and other themes, but once a month…it’s all about bourbon.

But the real star of this particular ride is the bourbon. You’ll enjoy a bourbon tasting, led by a master distiller, and go home with a souvenir rocks glass. That is all included in the price of your ticket.

The four-course meal is delicious and beautifully presented. The menu changes seasonally, and you do get to choose between a few options.

As you dine and enjoy your bourbon tastings, don’t forget to look out your window. The train passes a few rack houses and other features that will remind you that your bourbon was created right in your own backyard.
