Then the VIP Brewery Tour is for you! On our VIP Brewery Tour youll get the VIP treatment with lunch, beer tastings at each stop, and a knowledgeable tour guide with you every step of the way (in addition to a driver providing safe, round-trip transportation).

Whats included on the VIP Brewery Tour?

Safe round-trip transportation to three different breweries over approximately 6 hours

Beer tastings will be provided for you at each stop

A tasty lunch to to get some food in your belly as you embark on your beer tasting extravaganza

A behind-the-scenes brewery tour to show you first hand how beer is made at one of the breweries

A cooler full of water and ice so you can rehydrate between stops (and keep your growlers cold throughout the day)

A knowledgeable tour guide (in addition to your driver) to regale you with stories, tasting notes, and industry insider information about the beer and the breweries. Our VIP Brewery tour guides are passionate about craft beer and want nothing more than to help introduce you to a variety of locally made craft brews. We follow the motto, Think Globally, Drink Locally!

A presentation on the ingredients of beer and how its made. You will get to smell, touch, and even taste the malted barley and hops that help make beer so delicious (Hint: Dont taste the hops, unless you want a mouth full of bitter!)

Potential Breweries you will visit:

Lagunitas Brewing Company (Petaluma)  We almost always kick off the Public VIP Brewery Tour at Lagunitas as they have an excellent behind-the-scenes tour and lunch program with us. They make a variety of awesome beers but are best known for their big, aggressively-hopped, West Coast style Pale Ales and IPA variants.

Dempseys Brewery (Petaluma)  The oldest brewery in Petaluma, Dempseys brews a variety of very well-balanced beers. They are located in the Historic Downtown Petaluma district overlooking the river.

Petaluma Hills Brewing Company (Petaluma)  The latest on the Petaluma brewing scene, the proprietor of Petaluma Hills Brewing has been an avid homebrewer for years before he recently realized his dream of going pro. The taproom showcases the brewhouse, and the beer names are homages to the local community.

Plow Brewing Company (Santa Rosa)  Brand new brewery in Santa Rosa, former brewer from Lagunitas, Russian River, and Speakeasy.  His resume speaks for itself.

Cooperage Brewing Company (Santa Rosa)  Also a brand new brewery in Santa Rosa, specializes in Belgian styles but also has a couple solid IPAs, only open since late June 2015.

Stumptown Brewery (Guerneville)  The huge deck overlooking the
Russian River at Stumptown is one of the prettiest places to drink a beer in Sonoma County. They make several delicious in-house craft beers and they also serve a few hard-to-get favorites from other local breweries.

Cost: $115 per person. Note:  No cancellations after September 1, 2016.
