The Star Hill Farm & Samuels Family Heritage Experience

Go beyond the traditional distillery tour with an exclusive journey through the history, heritage, and hospitality that made Maker's Mark one of the world's most iconic bourbon brands. The Star Hill Farm & Samuels Family Heritage Experience begins with private access to the historic Samuels family home, where you'll enjoy a Southern-inspired brunch, handcrafted cocktails, and captivating stories of the Samuels family at their privately owned estate. This portion of the experience will personally be hosted by Bill Samuels Jr. or Rob Samuels.

Your day continues at Star Hill Farm, where you'll explore the rolling countryside, innovation gardens, orchards, and the legendary Mother Tree while learning how regenerative agriculture and sustainability shape the future of Maker's Mark bourbon. Complete your experience with a guided tour of Maker's Mark Distillery, a premium bourbon tasting, and access to purchase Maker's Mark Cellar Aged 2026 before returning to Louisville.

With limited availability and intimate group sizes, this is one of Kentucky's most exclusive experiences, combining bourbon, food, family history, and farm-to-glass craftsmanship into one unforgettable day.
