Wollongong brewery tours done properly.
The best Wollongong brewery tours do not happen by accident. They happen when someone who knows the Illawarra, knows the brewers and knows how to look after a group plans the whole day for you. That has been us since 2016.
We run guided, all-inclusive craft beer days right across Wollongong and the Illawarra. A full day takes in 3 to 4 local breweries, often with a distillery stop, with behind-the-scenes tastings, beer and spirit paddles and a lunch built in. Best of all, Wollongong's breweries sit in a tight coastal cluster, so you spend more time tasting and less time on the bus than you ever would in a spread-out wine region.
Think beachfront taprooms with ocean views, brewhouses tucked under the Illawarra escarpment and an award-winning local distillery, all part of the celebrated South Coast Ale Trail. No queues, no separate entry fees, no one stuck as the designated driver. Your guide handles every booking and all the logistics. You just show up thirsty and have the best day.
Coming from Sydney? Wollongong is only about 90 minutes down the coast, and we can run the scenic Grand Pacific Drive past the Sea Cliff Bridge on the way. Already sorted your own venues and just need the bus? We run the 14, 18, 27 and 41-seater fleet around the Illawarra as a private charter too. Wollongong bus hire details here.
Bucks party, corporate team day, milestone birthday or hens weekend? Browse our tours and live dates, or email Jared to tailor a private day. Prefer the grape? Pair it with our Southern Highlands wine tours just up the range, or if the crew is Sydney-based, our Inner West brewery tours save the drive.
Your place, your hotel, the office or your South Coast accommodation. One price, door to door, and no one stuck as the designated driver.

Meet the Illawarra brewers. Taste the good stuff.
This is not standing at a counter for a quick schooner. We take you behind the scenes at the Illawarra breweries we have built real relationships with since 2016, so you taste straight from the source and learn how the ales, lagers, hazies and ciders are actually made.
Beer paddles, spirit paddles, the brewers' stories and the small-batch pours you cannot get in a bottle shop. Quality over quantity, every stop.
