Craft beer tour of Wellington and the Hutt Valley with tastings at Baylands, Panhead and Garage Project, featuring three brewery stops and local styles.

Tour Overview

Spend time exploring Wellington and the Hutt Valley’s craft beer scene with visits to three well known breweries, each with a tasting included.

The tour features tasting paddles of 4 beers from the extensive Baylands range, a tasting paddle of a selection of Panhead tap beers, and a tasting experience from the Garage project tap bank. Across the three stops, you will sample a range of locally made craft beers and get a clear sense of the different styles each producer is known for.

This is a straightforward way to try beers from several of the region’s leading breweries without needing to plan the route yourself. The focus stays on the beer, with each tasting giving you time to compare flavours and see how each brewery approaches its range.

As you travel between Wellington and the Hutt Valley, the experience highlights the strength of local brewing in both areas. It is suited to travellers who want to taste a broad cross section of the region’s craft beer, from Baylands and Panhead to Garage Project, while hearing directly about the care and enthusiasm behind what they make.
