Know Before You Go
First visit to Star Hill Farm? We’ve got you covered. Everything you need to know all in one place: from directions, to hours of operations and expert tips and tricks.
Our distillery is open 7 days a week: Monday-Saturday, 9.30a.m-5p.m; Sunday 10a.m-5p.m. Please note that we do not give tours on Easter Sunday, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, or New Year’s Day.
We are located at 3350 Burkes Spring Rd, Loretto, KY 40037.
There are a few ways to find us - if you prefer a more adventurous drive, you will want to take the route that takes you down Maker's Mark Road (we do not recommend this route if you are driving a large vehicle). If you prefer a route that has two separate lanes the entire drive, make sure that Maker's Mark Road is NOT a part of your GPS's route (we recommend coming in on Bill Samuel's Jr. Rd. right off of Highway 52).
Unfortunately, Uber and Lyft are not reliable transportation options for our area. While they may take you out to Loretto, they will not bring you back to your home or hotel.
Park in the Visitor Parking Lot (follow signs for "Tours"), check in at the Visitor's Center, and let the fun begin!
You can read about our tours, check availability, and book your tours on this page! Keep in mind that we are only booking tours about 6 weeks out. If you’re looking for a date within that window but don’t see it available, there’s a chance all of our tours are full on that day. If you’re looking for dates after that window, check back a little closer to your target dates.
- We ask that you arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start time (don't forget - Maker's Mark® is located in Eastern Standard Time).
- Bring your ID for check-in and leave cash at home (card-only currently).
- You'll be spending time inside and outside, so dress accordingly, especially since Mother Nature gets her laughs by occasionally throwing us some weather curveballs.
- Keep your feet happy. There's a good bit of walking, so wear comfortable shoes.
- Yes, you can take pictures. We think this will be a memory you'll want to keep. (We just ask you do not film the entire tour.)
We offer a selection of exclusive distillery products that bring the Maker’s love home. From limited-edition bourbons to memorable merchandise, each item reflects our commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. Explore our offerings and take home a piece of the Maker's Mark legacy! Availability of products is subject to change.
- Dip your own bottle!
- Founder’s Series bottles
- Distillery Exclusive Maker’s Mark Private Selection variants
- Uniquely handcrafted items from local independent artisans
The gift shop stays open 1.5 hours after the last tour departs from the Homeplace. Just ask any of our team members for directions and they’ll be glad to point the way! Please note that no cash is accepted at this time. Unfortunately, we are unable to ship any bottles from our gift shop so be sure to plan how to get them home if you’re flying.
