　　Churchill Downs is the landmark racetrack that hosts the epic Kentucky Derby in May. But there's plenty of action besides that: warm-ups and other thoroughbred races take place from late April to late June and again in September and throughout November. Tickets start at $5. You also can go on a guided tour of the grounds year-round via the onsite Kentucky Derby Museum.

　　Arguably Louisville's best restaurant. The cocktails are incredible, the wine and bourbon 'library' (they're known to pour from exclusive and rare barrels of Woodford Reserve and Van Winkle) is long and satisfying, and exquisite dishes range from gourmet grilled cheese to a deliciously messy bison burger or a high-minded take...

Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co

　　This small distiller located downtown along Whiskey Row has an intriguing story. First opened in the 1880s, it closed during WWI to conserve corn.
