Cincinnati's Premier Brewery, Distillery and Winery Tasting Tours

Cincinnati, a city whose beer history remains unknown to most of its loyal patrons, was one our countries top beer producers from the mid 1800's through prohibition. In fact, the beer industry accounted for almost 40% of our economy, producing nearly 1,000,000 barrels of beer per year at its peak.

Cincinnati Produced the most amount of wine in the Country in 1859 with Longworth's "Sparkling Catawba".

We had one of the largest concentrations of Distilleries and Saloons in the world!

At Cincy Brew Bus, Cincy Wine Wagon, and Cincy Bourbon Bus we want to share these facts, and many more, with the finest people and the finest beverages we know.....beer, bourbon, and wine.

How It Works

We have worked hard over the past three years to take the stress out of booking and planning tours. Here are the basics:
• You pay for you and your group online or by calling us (513-258-7909, 844-Beer-Fun)

We can pick PRIVATE TOURS ONLY at their residence or outside location.
• We check you in, we load the bus
• On the Bus we narrate some fun Cincinnati Facts and Traditions
• We go into the breweries where you will receive a souvenir glass to use for your beer we will pour 3 samples of beer at 5.5-6oz each sample so 16-18 ounces each location. Wine Wagon you get between 4-8 pours of wine at each location plus some small cheese and cracker snacks. On Bourbon Bus tour and tasting you get 2 distilleries with tastings and two bourbon bars with tastings.
• We will go behind the scenes at the brewery, winery or distillery as long as they are not doing something back there that can get any of you injured.
• We will repeat this process either 3 or 4 times depending on the tour you select (check the description)
• We will then drop you off at your pickup location
• Please use your best judgement and don't drink and drive. If you have been drinking, UBER it or use our Hotel code we provide.

We do private and public parties, company outings Monday through Sunday for our tours depending on availability of our partners.
