Byron Bay Afternoon Brewery and Distillery Tour

4 hours to 1 day

Overview

If you want to keep your morning free, this afternoon drinks tour is a straightforward way to try a mix of local breweries and distilleries without sorting transport yourself. You’ll visit three venues in total, either two breweries and a distillery or two distilleries and a brewery, with tasting paddles and spirit tastings included along the way. In total, expect around 10 to 15 drinks. If beer is not your thing, beer tastings can be swapped for cider, wine or seltzer.

Why backpackers love it

This works well if you want a social afternoon out without committing a whole day or worrying about who is driving. The included tastings add up, so it is easier to budget for than paying venue by venue, and the pickup and drop-off keeps things simple. It also suits mixed groups better than a beer-only tour thanks to the cider, wine and seltzer substitutions.

What to expect

The tour starts at 2pm with pickup from designated meeting points, then heads out by air-conditioned minivan to three local venues. Stops change depending on venue opening days, but may include places such as Stone and Wood Brewery, Common People Brewing, Seven Mile Brewery, Lord Byron Distillery, Cape Byron Distillery or Wandana Brewery. At each stop, you’ll work through a broad tasting selection rather than just a single drink. Food is not included, but you can usually buy something at the breweries if you get hungry. After the final tasting, you’ll be dropped back at the end of the session.
