Begin with a complimentary 50ml Jack Daniels for adults over 21 years old at the distillery. The 1 PM tour kicks off with a check-in at the distillery’s reception before heading to Lynchburg's town square. Here, you can explore various retail shops, or enjoy lunch at the renowned Miss Mary Bobo's Restaurant.
After lunch, return to the distillery for the guided tour, and take photos along the way—though some areas may have restrictions. Those interested can partake in a whiskey tasting session in designated rooms. There's also an option to purchase a personalized Jack Daniels bottle with engraving. Finally, end your visit at the Jack Daniels Candy Company, known for its whiskey cake and pralines.
Reviews
My wife and I decided to take this tour after our initial one was cancelled. Although it was more expensive than our first choice, the website looked appealing. We really enjoyed our driver Diane, who was fun, friendly, and went out of her way to bring a birthday cake for my wife. However, I was expecting a coach bus based on the website photos, but we received a mini-van instead. While the vehicle was clean and comfortable, it was not what we anticipated. Additionally, we assumed the Jack Daniels tour ticket would be included, as the site mentioned escorting to the check-in counter for the tour. For the cost of $350.00, I was taken aback that we were only provided livery service and had to cover all other expenses. I suggest the company clearly indicate that no additional services or tickets are part of the package and that vehicle changes may occur without notice. I checked directly with Uber, and it would have cost about $100 each way. The three-star rating doesn't reflect on Diane, who deserves five stars for her exceptional service. The rating pertains to the value compared to the advertised offerings; it feels misleading to label it a tour without included services. I recommend renaming it a livery service rather than "Jack Daniels Smooth Distillery Tours, Shopping and Barbecue."
This service only functions as a shuttle or Uber. Our guide was 30 minutes late and informed us that the Jack Daniels tour wasn't included due to too many whiskey options. She dropped us off without assisting us to enter. There was only one entry fee with no flight options, and since we lacked a reservation, we waited an hour for the next available tour. We ended up spending an extra $140 on top of the $659 already paid. Although the actual tour was enjoyable, renting a car for the weekend would have cost less than this shuttle service. Proceed with caution.
The Lynchburg square was charming, and Mary Bobo served delicious Southern cuisine. Our driver did a great job of preparing us for the experience and even made stops for photos. The vehicle was clean and had a pleasant fresh scent. We enjoyed a complimentary shot of Old No. 7 at the start of our ride.
This tour was a delightful experience. Our driver, Diane, was outstanding. However, it’s important to note that the package does not cover lunch or the admission fee to the distillery.
