Taste Vacations and our sister company, Zephyr Adventures, have been partnering with groups and organizations to host private tours all over the globe for more than 20 years.
Since 2017, we have partnered with the homebrewing publication, Brew Your Own magazine, on private beer tours exclusively for their readership. We plan and execute all of the logistics for each trip, from booking each guest to our expert guides leading the trip to surveying the group for feedback upon completion of the tour.
Brew Your Own marketed the trips to their audience of homebrewers and in turn sold them out. Brad Ring, the publisher of Brew Your Own, participated in each trips as the tour host.
”Thanks to Zephyr and Taste I'm able offer my customers and community unique beer and wine travel experiences. They bring a level of professionalism as well as fun while handling all the detailed planning and logistics. It's really added another dimension to what we're already doing to build and connect with our community that we could not have done on our own as a small business.
