Brewery and Beer Tours by Limo

Craft beer, minus the car keys

The Central Coast pours some of the best craft beer in California. Ventura County alone has taprooms tucked into downtown streets, harbor-side blocks and industrial parks. A brewery day is a fun way to taste it all.

The catch is simple. Someone has to drive. With Ventura County Limousine, nobody does. Your chauffeur handles the route while your group tastes, laughs and compares favorites.

Shared tours or a private ride

You can join others or keep the day to yourselves. Each style suits a different crowd.

• Shared group tours – a set route with other beer fans. Past shared tours have run about five hours and visited three craft breweries, often with a behind-the-scenes look at how beer is made. Ask our team what the current tour includes.
• Private tours – your group, your vehicle, your pace. Pick the breweries, set the hours and add a meal stop wherever you like.

Private tours are popular for bachelor parties, birthdays, team outings and anyone who wants full control of the day.

The local brewery scene

Ventura and Santa Barbara counties offer a mix of styles. You will find hazy IPAs, crisp lagers, Belgian-inspired ales and barrel-aged specialties. Some taprooms have patios near the water, while others sit inside working brewhouses.

Breweries that have appeared on our tours over the years include Island Brewery, Telegraph Brewery, Figueroa Mountain Brewery, Hollister Brewing Co., Rincon Brewery, Pure Order Brewery, M Special Brewery, Third Window Brewery and Firestone Walker Brewery. Your chauffeur can suggest a route based on where you start and what you like to drink.

Planning your brewery day

A little planning keeps the day smooth and fun for everyone.

• Plan three or four taprooms for a five to six hour private tour.
• Add hours if you want to reach the Santa Barbara or Santa Ynez area.
• Build in a real meal. Tasting flights add up fast.
• Check taproom hours. Many open later in the day and close early on weekdays.

We pick up across the county, including Ventura, Oxnard, Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Moorpark and Ojai. Rather sip wine? Explore our wine tours and the nearby Ventura wine trail.

Vehicles for any group size

Small groups can ride in a Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator for six, or a Chevrolet Suburban for eight. A stretch limousine seats 8 to 10. For a bigger crew, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter limo van carries 12 to 14, and a Hummer H2 stretch fits 14 to 20.

Throwing a large party? Our party buses and limo buses carry 24 to 56 guests. With more than 27 years in business and licensed, insured chauffeurs, we will get everyone there and back safely.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a shared and a private beer tour?

A shared tour follows a set route with other guests. A private tour gives your group its own vehicle and lets you choose the stops and timing.

How many breweries can we visit?

Three or four is a good number for a five to six hour day. That leaves time to relax and eat.

How large a group can you take on a brewery tour?

We handle everything from a few friends in an SUV to 56 guests on a party bus.

Is gratuity included?

Gratuity is not included unless your quote says so. It is not required, but 15–20% is customary.
