01 — About

The brief.

The Beer Bus Co. runs guided craft-beverage bus tours through the Blue Mountains and Collingwood region of South Georgian Bay, Ontario. All tours depart from Blue Mountain Village at 156 Jozo Weider Blvd and travel by 14- or 20-passenger minibus to local breweries, wineries, cideries, and distilleries — venues like The Collingwood Brewery, Side Launch Brewing, Georgian Hills Vineyards, and Spy Cider House and Distillery. Guides are Cicerone-certified, and tour prices include beverage samples, transportation, and onboard sound. Public tours run daily year-round across two seasonal schedules: May 1 through October 30 in summer and October 31 through April 30 in winter. Custom private groups from 8 to 150 are also accommodated. The Beer Bus Co. is a subsidiary of Canadian Craft Tours.
