NSW Brewery Tours.
Craft Beer Day Trips With Your Own Bus & Driver.
Private brewery days across Sydney's Inner West, the Northern Beaches, the Hunter Valley and the Illawarra, door to door on our own 14 to 41 seat coaches. From $130 per person for groups of 20 or more, with four tastings at every brewery and all tasting fees included.
Brewery tours near you. Or a proper day out.
Every brewery tour starts at your door, not at a meeting point. Some groups want the taproom half an hour away. Some want the bus, the drive and the whole day. Both are on this page, and the drive time is the honest way to choose between them.
Sydney's Inner West
Marrickville, Camperdown and Redfern. The densest craft beer strip in the country, close enough that a half day still feels like a full one.
Inner West brewery tours →The Northern Beaches
Brookvale and Manly. Breweries, a distillery and the ocean, without leaving Sydney. The quiet alternative when the Inner West feels done.
Northern Beaches tours →The Illawarra
South to Wollongong and the South Coast Ale Trail. Seven breweries and a distillery within twenty minutes of each other, and the escarpment behind every one of them.
Illawarra brewery tours →The Hunter Valley
North up the M1 to Pokolbin and Lovedale. Wine country's other side: breweries, distilleries and the only region where you can put a winery back in if half the group wants one.
Hunter Valley brewery tours →Urban Legends runs private brewery tours in four New South Wales regions. Sydney's Inner West is about thirty minutes from the Sydney CBD and starts from $135 per person for groups of 20 or more. The Northern Beaches is about forty five minutes from the Sydney CBD and starts from $154 per person for groups of 20 or more. The Illawarra, around Wollongong, is about an hour and a half south of Sydney and starts from $159 per person for groups of 20 or more. The Hunter Valley is about two hours north of Sydney and starts from $130 per person for groups of 20 or more on the half day tour. Every price includes four tastings at each brewery and all tasting fees, and every tour includes door to door pickup on our own coach with a driver. Smaller groups pay a higher per head rate, starting at $200 to $287 per person for a group of four to six depending on the region.
See a NSW brewery day for yourself.
Four regions, one trusted operator.
Urban Legends runs guided, all-inclusive brewery days across New South Wales, in Sydney's Inner West, the Northern Beaches, the Hunter Valley and the Illawarra. Four tastings at every brewery, a behind-the-scenes look at how the beer is actually made, and lunch built into most itineraries.
We look after groups of up to 200. Pick your own breweries or run one of our tried-and-tested itineraries, and we handle the vehicles, the venue bookings, the tastings and the timings. Your group just shows up.
Not everyone in the group drinks beer, and no itinerary is locked. Most tours will swap a brewery for a distillery, a winery or a rooftop bar, and the Inner West runs a drink-preference matrix so wine drinkers and non-drinkers get a day that suits them too.
Want the bus without the guided package? We also run private charter for groups who have already sorted their own breweries. Sydney bus charter details here.

Four New South Wales brewery regions, each with its own character and its own per head pricing. Prices below are live from our booking system. Full itineraries, every package and live dates are on each region page.
Inner West Sydney
Northern Beaches
Illawarra & Wollongong
Hunter Valley
Included on every brewery tour, in all four regions
Lunch is included on the full day tours and is an optional extra on the half days, from $30 per person including a drink. Never included on any tour: beers you buy beyond the tastings, cans to take home, and optional add-ons such as go karting, lawn bowls or axe throwing, which are quoted per group. A $200 deposit secures any booking with instant confirmation online. Final balance and final numbers are due two weeks before your tour, and your detailed itinerary is sent once the deposit is received.

Brewery tours with something to do
Four hours of drinking is a long time for any group. Every region runs a combo tour that puts an activity between two breweries, and it is consistently the version that sells. All prices per head for groups of 20 or more.
- Lawn bowls and two breweries, Inner West or Wollongong, from $135
- Ten pin bowling and two breweries, Inner West, from $166
- Go karting and two breweries, Inner West, from $195
- Axe throwing and two breweries, Inner West, from $205
- Escape room and two breweries, Wollongong, from $205
- Go karting and a Hunter Valley brewery day, from $219
- Nine holes at Cypress Lakes and a Hunter Valley brewery day, from $249
Smaller groups pay a higher per head rate. The activity is booked and paid by us as part of the tour, so there is nothing to sort out on the day.
See the activity tours →Why book your brewery tour with us.
Four tastings, every brewery
Not one token schooner. Four tastings at each venue, paid by us, so nobody is queueing at the counter with a card out.
Behind the scenes
Most stops include a walk through the brewhouse with someone who actually makes the beer, not just a table in the taproom.
Our own coaches
14 to 41 seat air-conditioned coaches we own and maintain, with Bluetooth so you bring your own playlist. Up to 200 guests across multiple vehicles.
Free swaps
Swap a brewery for a distillery, a winery or a rooftop bar at no extra cost, so the wine drinkers and the non-drinkers get a day that suits them too.

"Easy to deal with from first enquiry through to drop off. Driver was on time, professional, made sure we were all comfortable and helped hook up Spotify. Bus was so comfortable. Will def book again. Excellent value too."
"The attention to detail to my requests and the relationships with suppliers is what sets Jared and Urban Legends apart from other tour and charter companies. I look forward to working with you again soon."
"Jared and the team at Urban Legends were absolutely amazing. We used 2 of their large buses to transport our guests. They made the process easy and they were professional, friendly and punctual on the day. The vehicles were in brilliant condition."
