There’s A Bourbon Cruise Happening In Kentucky This Fall And You’ll Want To Be On It

It's a well known fact that we love bourbon in Kentucky. Something else we really like in the Bluegrass State happens to be riverboats. There are a few spots around our state where you can ride these majestic beauties and this fall, you can actually combine your love for both bourbon and riverboats on an epic cruise through BB Riverboats in Newport. The Fall Bourbon Dinner Cruise is happening this fall and you'll want to be on it.

BB Riverboats, which board in Newport, Kentucky along the Ohio River, is hosting an extra special cruise this fall that is just perfect for Kentuckians.

The Fall Bourbon Dinner Cruise takes place most Friday evenings this fall and features a 2.5-hour cruise, a bourbon tasting, and the option to enjoy a delicious buffet dinner.

You can begin boarding the riverboat at 6:30 p.m. and it will depart at 7:30 p.m.

This allows you plenty of time to explore the boat, take in the scenery and enjoy the fresh air during the 2.5-hour trip.

The bourbon tasting is a unique feature of this particular cruise, and you can also choose to include a buffet dinner in your trip.

The buffet will include seasonal favorites such as Carved Porkloin with Apple Chutney, Bourbon Glazed Salmon, Corn Bread and Cheesecake, among many other options. If you've never dined aboard one of the BB Riverboats, you're in for a real treat.

The scenery is sure to be beautiful as the sun sets below the river, the lights of downtown Cincinnati come to life and the riverboat glows with plenty of festive atmosphere.

The Fall Bourbon Dinner Cruise still has tickets available for the following Friday evenings: 10/20, 10/27, 11/3, and 11/17. That means there is plenty of opportunity to reserve your space aboard this classic Kentucky excursion that will surely be a highlight of the season.
