We’ll meet at our coffee shop, Endless Summer Paddle & Coffee for any pre-activity fuel that is needed. There we will chat about some of the history of the Ohio River and the plan for the paddle. We will also cover some basics of Stand Up Paddle Boarding and size up gear. Next, we’ll head down to the water and begin a group paddle board lesson. We will ensure that everyone feels comfortable standing, turning, and stopping their boards and know what to do if they fall off. Next we will tour the river and depending on water and wind conditions may paddle under our bridges or up towards the water. Skyline views from the water are the best and we are happy to stop for some photo ops! Other things to note Please do not plan on taking any valuables on the water with you, these can be left at the coffee shop or in your car. You will need to sign a waiver prior to participating in the event.

All tours will meet at River View Park in Downtown Frankfort KY, around 700 Wilkinson Blvd., and across the street from the very colorful "Urban Woods" Apartments. We offer bourbon themed historic boat tours of the Kentucky River. You will need to meet us at Riverview Park, where you will board the "Trace of Kentucky". The location for the park is near 700 Wilkinson Blvd, but please don't rely 100 % on GPS or a smartphone. The part of the park where you need to be is across the road from "Urban Woods", yellow, blue, pink and orange apartment buildings. Your tour will begin as you are motored up and down the beautiful Kentucky River. Your Captain and guide will point out some of Frankfort's most famous landmarks, as well as educated and entertain you on how Kentucky's Most Famous Spirit came to be because of this most historic river. Sites seen will be Frankfort's Riverfront and new beginning, Daniel Boone's Grave, the joining site of the Three Original Counties, Frank's Ford, Leestown, Buffalo Trace Distillery, and more! Other things to note This is an outdoor experience, and we work at the mercy of mother nature. We can operate in a light rain, but heavy rains, winds and/or flooding conditions will result in postponement or cancellation.

Upon arriving, you'll have an entire whiskey tasting room & bourbon bar to yourselves! You'll sit down & enjoy the most iconic bourbon cocktail in Louisville, the Old Fashioned. While you sip, I'll demonstrate how to make Trouble Bar's classic Old Fashioned. Then, you'll get to jump behind the bar to pick your own bitters & syrup combination to create your very own signature Old Fashioned. After our Old Fashioned bootcamp, you'll enjoy a 3 - 5 part tasting of bourbon. Unlike distilleries, you'll get to try lots of whiskeys and although we love so many bourbons, our tastings are totally brand agnostic. You'll taste whatever we love and think your group will love too. We serve every bourbon with a healthy dose of history, background & information, while also providing lots of water and ice. We find that so many new bourbon drinkers, or seasoned drinkers, can find new tasting notes or get more out of a bourbon that's had an ice cube or a splash of ice! Each class ends with the opportunity to purchase any of our house cocktails, or a pour of some of our most unique, hard-to-find whiskeys! Other things to note Timing: The bar doesn't open until 5p on most days, so it's all yours for afternoon classes. Classes after 5p cannot be accommodated. Food: Feel free to bring snacks! We do not serve food, but you can order in or BYOF. Sober: Sober drinkers can be accommodated for cocktail making.
