What to do and see in Central Business District, Kentucky (KY): The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

November 23, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

Each year, horse enthusiasts hoof it to Louisville and Churchill Downs, the legendary home of the Kentucky Derby. In addition to equestrian endeavors and bluegrass roots, Louisville boasts a range of exciting attractions the whole family can enjoy. Stroll through Central Park, in the historic district, to people-watch and get a real feel for the city. Visit other nearby parks for hiking, biking and fossil finding. Baseball fans will love the Louisville Slugger Museum, a celebration of the sport's legends. The museum is easy to spot, just look for the humongous bat that leans against the building.

Our original store and kitchen where we make our famous Small-batch Bourbon Truffles™, Orange Chimères™ and other confections. World's first bourbon-certified chocolatier, but we do a variety of alcohol-free candies too. Picked as "Best Candy Shop in Kentucky" by Food Network Magazine in 2015, our bourbon chocolates can be found at many stops along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Family-owned business. NUT FREE SHOP!

Cool chocolate store in the heart of Louisville. The chocolatier is the first to be certified to pair chocolate with bourbon. We came to this place as recommended by the Angel's Envy bourbon tour guide. That's where they had some of the chocolates. The store is small but has a great selection of treats. We got dark chocolate covered pretzels that were delicious. You'll have to find a parking garage or street parking to get to the store.

The Louisville shop for Justin's House of Bourbon is a great addition to the Louisville bourbon scene. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Will help with any questions you might have.

What a great experience! It was a lot of fun to learn about the process of making glass. We learned so much! They were happy to answer all of our questions. They offered advice about colors to use and how they would look in the finished project. We can’t thank them enough for starting our mini vacation off with an amazing experience.
