Seattle Shore Excursion: Half-Day Craft Brewery and Microbrewery Tour

From: £66.35

Duration: 5 hours

Category: Outdoors

Spend your time in port seeing the beer-loving side of Seattle on this five-hour small-group tour of the city’s craft breweries and microbreweries. The state of Washington is home to more than 80 breweries, most of which are in the Seattle area and value organic and locally grown ingredients. Your guide picks you up at Seattle's cruise port and takes you to three or four of these breweries, teaching you about what goes into each barrel. As you travel between breweries, stop at some of Seattle’s most iconic and scenic viewpoints.

While docked in Seattle, take a five-hour small-group brewery tour and learn about the constantly evolving brewing scene. Whether you’re a beer buff or you’re simply looking for a unique way to explore Seattle, this fun tour will not disappoint. 

First, a little background information – a craft brewery is designated by the American Brewers Association as a small brewery with a production of less than six million barrels of beer; a microbrewery is even smaller, with a production of less than 15,000 barrels of beer. Your guide will take you to both types of local breweries, combining three to four beer-tasting stops with a Seattle city tour before dropping you off in time for your cruise. 

Start your afternoon at Seattle's cruise port, and head either north or south depending on the order of breweries your guide determines. The breweries you visit depend on availability and hours of operation, but rest assured you will taste a variety of the most authentic and delicious porters, IPAs, pilsners, brown ales and more. Many of Seattle’s breweries value the environment, so you can also expect organic and local ingredients in almost every pint.

Between breweries, your guide will take you past several scenic viewpoints throughout the city to see the mountains, lakes, cityscape and vibrant neighborhoods that make Seattle so beautiful. You’ll also see historic Pioneer Square, Pike Place Market, the Space Needle and the Olympic Sculpture Park before returning to your ship.

Worry-free Shore Excursion:

We will ensure your timely return to the Seattle port for this activity. In the rare event your ship has departed, we will arrange for transportation to the next port-of call. If your ship is delayed and you are unable to attend this activity, your money will be refunded. See our terms and conditions for full details.
