Know before you go
First trip to Marker’s Mark? We’ve got you covered. Everything you need to know all in one place: from how to get there, hours of operation, what to expect, plus a few tips & tricks!
Directions & Parking
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).
If you are taking an Uber/Lyft, please plan ahead for a ride back to where you need to go. There are very limited (and sometimes no available) taxi services near our location.
Park in the Visitor Parking Lot (follow signs for "Tours"), check in at the Visitor's Center, and let the fun begin!
Tour Info
- 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)
the magic of maker’s mark
There’s more to Maker’s Mark than just a distillery tour. At Star Hill Farm, you can dip your own bottle, explore seasonal exhibitions, enjoy cocktail and culinary experiences, and see how our bourbon is made—up close. Set on a working farm in the heart of Kentucky, it’s a place where craftsmanship and nature go hand in hand. It’s not just a visit. It’s everything we’re proud to share.
Meet the Animals of Star Hill Farm
Our furry and four-legged friends add a special touch to the Maker’s Mark experience. Playful sheep roam freely around the farm, while our Wagyu cattle play an important role in our Regenified Certification, helping us practice rotation grazing that promotes soil health—and, ultimately, better bourbon. Whether you're walking by or stopping to say hi, they’re always ready to bring a smile and make your visit more memorable.
Whisky Jean Samuels
Don’t miss our friendly feline, Whisky Jean Samuels—local legend, professional napper, and beloved favorite of the Visitor Center. You’ll often spot her relaxing in the window light or quietly supervising the tours. She doesn’t say much, but she’s part of the Maker’s Mark family—and always manages to steal the show.
Star
He’s our truffle-hunting dog, imported from Europe, whose keen nose leads the way to hidden treasures in the fields. He’s full of energy and has a serious talent for finding the good stuff. Star is proof that eager legs can carry you far.
