Private Wellington Craft Beer Full Day Tour

From your cruise ship’s arrival in Wellington, this full day private tour is built around the breweries that have helped shape the city’s reputation as New Zealand’s craft beer capital.

You travel north to Brewtown in Upper Hutt for a behind the scenes tour of Kereru Brewery, followed by tastings that introduce the brewery’s approach in a direct, hands-on way. Lunch is at Art of Pizza, known for New York style pizzas, with Kereru craft beer on tap as part of the stop.

The afternoon continues with a focused run through more of the region’s well-known craft beer producers. Tastings are included at Boneface and Panhead in Upper Hutt, then at ParrotDog and Garage Project back in Wellington. Across the day, the emphasis stays on brewery visits and craft beer tastings, giving you a clear sense of the range and character of Wellington beer.

Because this is a private tour, the pace is relaxed and personal, with transport arranged around your cruise schedule. At the end of the day, you return to your cruise ship in Wellington, or can be dropped at a craft beer bar of your choice in the city.
