What You Will Do
This is the easiest way to visit the award-winning Nearest Green Distillery — home of the Uncle Nearest whiskey brand and one of the most meaningful destinations in American spirits. We provide round-trip transportation from downtown Nashville to the distillery in Shelbyville, so there’s no need to drive, coordinate rentals, or plan logistics.
At the distillery, you’ll enjoy a guided tasting experience and time to explore the beautiful grounds. You’ll learn the story of Nathan "Nearest" Green, the first known African American master distiller and the man who taught Jack Daniel how to make whiskey — a story that’s as powerful as the whiskey is smooth.
This tour is perfect for whiskey lovers, history buffs, and anyone looking to explore beyond the city while soaking up Tennessee’s rich whiskey culture. Everything’s handled — just hop on the bus and enjoy the ride.
