California Sunset Brewery Tour

5.California Sunset Brewery Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.3 · 3 reviews · from $199

Spend 4.5 hours touring San Diego’s beach communities, tasting up to 15 beers at two breweries, and learning how beer is made on a production tour. Transportation, a meal, guide, and tastings are included. The outing starts and ends at 1050 Kettner Blvd.

“we were on a kind of private tour with just us party of four. After a bit of a slow start, we had loads of fun. Maybe a good idea to drink a bit of water between the beers to neutralize the taste of the last beer, before drinking the next one. Do not underestimate the small glas sizes.”
