This tour is a carefully blended mix of sightseeing, history, and beer tasting experiences. Early in the week, we enjoy a special introductory program at the renowned Doemens Academy of Brewing, one of the only schools in the world to offer professional training for Brewmasters and Beer Sommeliers. Later in the week, our mornings are focused on city tours and visits to museums and other sites which shed further light on the history and process of brewing. In general, afternoons are reserved for opportunities to taste the beverage we have come to explore – over the course of the week we visit a number of breweries, biergartens, and restaurants where we are able to put theory to practice and develop our beer palates.
Appreciating great beer is certainly a social endeavor and is best explored in good company. That is why we include a number of opportunities to enjoy beer as a group during nice meals and engaging presentations. The sojourn also provides a healthy amount of free time, however, for participants to explore their own interests. A free afternoon in Munich allows for extra time at Oktoberfest or perhaps a bit of shopping in the wonderfully restored historic city center of Munich. In Salzburg, we suggest taking some time to appreciate the musical heritage for which the city by visiting Mozart’s birthplace or explore its iconic, medieval hilltop fortress.
