Craft Beer Tour

OVERVIEW

Enjoy a drive through Gdynia as you make your way to the neighboring city of Gdańsk, where your thematic tour will begin. Sample as many as a half-dozen Polish beers in Gdansk, where breweries have flourished for centuries. While walking through Old Town, you will hear about its long brewing history, especially during the 16th century, when hundreds of small breweries operated there. Many of the beers served today reflect that brewing heritage as you will discover during the samplings. The exact venues for the tastings vary, but regardless of which two breweries are chosen, you will sample three beers at each one. You will also be offered a shot of Polish vodka, which is typically made from grains such as rye or from potatoes. During free time, you can explore other areas of Old Town, where you may choose to shop for items such as amber jewelry.
