Historically Tipsy: A Nashville Prohibition and Whiskey Tour

Join us for an exciting history tour punctuated with drinks! Discover how Nashville has been shaped by a long , colorful, and at times funny history of whiskey production and prohibition!
Explore Nashville’s complex relationship with alcohol on this 2-hour, all-inclusive historical walking tour led by a whiskey expert.

This experience goes far beyond a typical bar crawl. It is a story-driven journey through downtown Nashville, examining the rise of Tennessee whiskey, the influence of the temperance movement, the realities of Prohibition, and the underground culture that shaped the city after dark.

While a portion of the tour passes through historic Printer's Alley, the experience explores multiple areas of downtown to provide a broader understanding of how alcohol, politics, religion, and music intertwined to shape Nashville’s identity.

At select historic venues — including Alley Taps and Nashville Barrel Company — guests enjoy curated whiskey pours or cocktails, all included in the ticket price. Each beverage is intentionally selected to complement the historical narrative being discussed.

Your guide is a dedicated whiskey expert who provides in-depth insight into:

The origins and evolution of Tennessee whiskey

What distinguishes Tennessee whiskey from other American styles

Nashville’s surprising role in the temperance movement

How Prohibition operated on the streets of downtown

The hidden systems and personalities that kept alcohol flowing despite federal bans

The connection between whiskey culture and the rise of Music City

This is not a party crawl or a Broadway bar hop.
It is an immersive historical experience designed for guests who want context, craftsmanship, and deeper understanding — with premium drinks included.
