Brewery Tours In Melbourne

Being a world-class cultural hub, Melbourne is naturally a destination for some truly outstanding beer-tasting adventures. Whether you’re an ardent enthusiast or casual fan of the occasional brew, there’s a delicious and invigorating experience for everyone.

The opportunity to enjoy special beers presents itself, of course, just about wherever you go in Victoria’s capital. But you can also find special beer-related activities, like learning the craft of a master brewer or sampling the wares of local outlets with an urban beer tasting tour through Melbourne CBD.

RedBalloon provides a number of great options if you’re after a Melbourne beer tasting or brewery tour, in great locations and at great prices. And don’t forget these are a fantastic option for a special gift in honour of a birthday, Father’s Day or Christmas.

What are the best beer tasting experiences in Melbourne?

Like varieties of this treasured drink itself, there is an abundance of beer tasting experiences, and, at RedBalloon, we can guarantee each is excellent in its own right. Picking the ‘best’ will depend on the occasion you have in mind, your estimated budget, location – and, of course, your taste in tastings!

You could find yourself, for example, simply sitting back and relaxing in a trendy local Melbourne bar, sampling the delicious flavours of a few independently crafted beers served to you. On the other hand, you might sign yourself and your friends up for a guided bus-driven, brewery-hopping tour of Melbourne’s most exciting and talked about beer purveyors.

These kinds of outings deliver the privilege of VIP access and the chance to uncover the secrets behind some of the most awarded beers, ales and lagers. And matched with hearty, complimentary meals, they are ideal outings for groups to celebrate birthdays, buck’s events, or just the chance to catch up with old friends for a good time out.

Meanwhile, for something a little more hands-on, look out for Melbourne micro-breweries that give you a quick (and fun!) education in the ancient art of beer making. In doing so, they’ll let you get actively involved in the process, brew your own drop with the aid of expert tuition, and, ultimately, take home significant litres of your personalised beverage.
