Racing Season and Distillery Tour Reservations

Keeneland racing meets in April and October are major bottlenecks; tickets and nearby lodging often sell out months in advance. Popular bourbon distilleries require advance booking for tours, as walk-ins are rarely accommodated during peak spring and fall weekends. Always check official distillery websites for their specific booking windows.
