The Bay Area has some serious microbrewery prestige, with numerous exceptional craft beers coming from the area. In February of 2010, craft brewers Robert Watkins, Ron Holt, and James Holt realized that there was a market of beer geeks coming to Sonoma County from all over the world to visit these breweries. So they decided to create an affordable and easy way to get them there.

North Bay Brewery Tours works with many of the area’s most popular brewers, including Lagunitas, Russian River, Bear Republic, Hopmonk, and more than a few others. At each stop on the three-brewery tour, guests get a behind-the-scenes tour of the brewing process and plentiful samples, including some limited edition offerings. If that’s not enough for you, the tour bus has a keg of Lagunitas onboard to sip from between stops. Past customers rave about the laid-back attitude of the organizers as well as their deep knowledge of beer.
