About this tour

Trade a crowded party bus for a relaxed ride through Traverse City’s local beverage scene. On this 4.5-hour Traverse City Beer, Distillery and Wine Tour, a knowledgeable local guide takes you to four stops to sample drinks and explore the flavors that make the area distinctive.

Travel between breweries and distilleries in an air-conditioned luxury SUV, such as a GMC Yukon or Cadillac Escalade. Wine samples or splashes are available, while additional drinks, flights, bottles, and food can be purchased separately. At the stops, you can also browse for bottles, growlers, glasses, and merchandise. Groups of six or more receive a bottle of wine, subject to availability.

The semi-private format may combine smaller parties, and groups of six to seven often have their own vehicle. Pickup is at Hardy Street Parking Structure near Middlecoast Brewery, with some downtown pickup arrangements possible by email or text.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.93 from 43 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Traverse City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.5. Top 11% in Traverse City means it ranks in the top 11% of tours in Traverse City by this score.
