Uncover the hidden side of Kentucky bourbon on the world’s only walking bourbon food tour. As the sun sets over Louisville’s vibrant NuLu neighborhood, you’ll explore beyond the barrel to trace bourbon’s journey from Appalachian roots to global fame. Along the way, enjoy creative bites and modern riffs on classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned and Mint Julep while stopping by award-winning restaurants and rooftop bars. Sample everything from fat-washed to river-aged bourbons, and hear the untold stories you won’t find on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.

As part of Bourbon & Belonging, we’re thrilled to bring you an evening that pairs rich Kentucky Bourbon with the soulful sounds of the Wild Ponies. The night kicks off with a guided bourbon tasting at 6:00 PM, followed by live music at 7:30 PM. The event is free to attend, though donations are greatly appreciated.

Wild Ponies—Nashville-based duo Doug and Telisha Williams—blend country roots with raw storytelling and an undeniable chemistry that shines on stage. Their music is heartfelt, intimate, and full of community spirit, making this a performance you won’t want to miss.

Join us for bourbon, music, and belonging—all in one unforgettable evening.

Raise a glass in Covington’s historic Mainstrasse Village.

With conversation flowing as smoothly as the pours, this is where Northern Kentucky gathers to sip, savor, and belong.

Step behind the barrel at New Riff for a rare glimpse of both the Main Campus and seldom-seen West Campus.

Designed for those who want more than a pour, this is New Riff at its most personal and storied.

Equal parts craftsmanship and queen-sized charisma.
