Here’s a list of toast-worthy trails and tours on tap. All you need to do is decide whether to go all-in on a fully guided trip or draw straws for the designated driver on a self-guided adventure.

Fully guided brewery tours

The Beer Bus

Explore the amazing flavours brewed from Ontario’s fresh grapes, apples and hops on an all-inclusive winery, cidery and brewery tour in Toronto or in Collingwood and The Blue Mountains. Tours go well beyond just door-to-door transportation; you’ll also get essential facts, fun backstories and onboard snacks and refreshments.

WE Trolley Tour

One of Ontario’s prettiest wine regions also has a notorious brewing and bootlegging past. Explore the history and local craft brew culture in the Windsor Essex region by trolley (so retro!). Stops include The Grove Hotel in Kingsville, a boutique inn that houses a microbrewery, otherwise known as the beer-lover’s shangri-la.

Ride the Bine

Owners and Norfolk natives Amanda and Susan share their passion for local wine, beer and cider of Norfolk County and London in style. You travel in the comfort of a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter complete with complimentary snacks and water.

Brew Donkey Tours

Best described as a field trip for adults, Brew Donkey Tours are Ontario’s beer tour trendsetters, with regional tours of local breweries in the Ottawa region. They’ve even partnered up with BATL Axe Throwing to up the adventure ante with Sip, Axe and Relax, part of a collaborative monthly event series.

Born to Ride

Consider this the Ironman for brew fans – a beer-athon! The Georgian Bay Spirits, Vista View, Cycle & Swim guided day trip leads you to breweries, cideries, wineries and great lookouts (aka: rest stops) by bike. Lunch and a swim are included.
