Our beer tours are crafted to showcase craft beer as more than just a drink, but more so a journey of the senses.  Experience the smells and tastes of the world of great beer and the sights and sounds of the amazing cities and towns we visit on each of our specially crafted beer trips as we pay homage to some of the best breweries and beer known to man...and woman!

Bon Beer Voyage currently offers the following types of Beer tours:

International Beercations
Our international Beercations are 5-9 day beer tours designed to get a true taste of the beer and beer culture of the places we visit. Our goal is to create memorable trips that are customized for beer lovers, but offer enough interesting sights and amazing meals and experiences that even the beer novice will love them! These beer trips typically include brewery tours, guided city tours, accomodations, gourmet meals, ground transportation and more.

International Barge Beercation Cruises

Our Barge Beercations are weeklong barge cruises along the canals and waterways of Belgium and elsewhere, (such as Holland for our 2012 Beercation Cruise) Unpack only once, then relax and enjoy a truly unique beer tour as we sail through the landscapes of Belgium, Holland and wherever else we may journey to. Visit great beer cities, such as Brussels, and taste some of its world renowned chocolates, see Antwerp, the diamond capital of the world, visit and taste the famous Trappist beers from Westvleteren and Westmalle, enjoy tours and pubs in Ghent and medieval Bruges. (See our blog for photos from some or our voyages!)  

Bon Beer Voyage barge tours include your barge accommodations, most meals, guided tours and brewery visits, motor coach transportation to breweries as listed in itinerary, and more!

Our barge, the Iris, was reincarnated from its past life as a freight barge in 2005 when it was refitted as a very comfortable and extremely popular 24 passenger vessel.  The Iris has two stories. On the top you will find the salon, a roomy lounge, a cozy bar and a sun deck. Below, each comfortable guest cabin has two beds (no bunks beds) and a private bathroom. The entire barge has central heat and air-conditioning.

Most of our delicious meals will prepared by our private chef and served on board the barge. However, there are a few days when we may have reserved a special beer paired meal in town, or left an opening for you to enjoy the local cuisine during a lunch or dinner your own. Dinners are casual; our goal is to make you feel like you are at home, only better!

Weekend Beer Safaris
Weekend Beer Safaris are the perfect weekend beer trip getaway here in the states. Enjoy 2-3 nights at a comfortable hotel or inn, beer paired cuisine, brewery tours, local sites of interest, unique pubs and the company of people of like mind- or tastes, as the case may be!

 Why Bon Beer Voyage?

Experience & Planning Matter!
With years of experience in both the travel and beer realms, Bon Beer Voyage is attuned to the needs of beer travelers. Our ongoing commitment to research and tour development means your beer vacation will feature the best in both cultural and beer-centric highlights. From the beer lovers’ meccas of Trappist Breweries like Westvleteren and La Trappe, to the tantalizing tastes of cuisine a la bière at world famous restaurants like Bruges' Den Dyver, to the latest in U.S. craft breweries like Saint Somewhere in Tarpon Springs, FL, we have hunted down the best locations worldwide to experience beer culture.  Each of our beer themed vacations has been carefully planned and perfected to ensure your enjoyment of the perfect “beercation”.

With our years of immersion in the travel industry, we are licensed, certified, and insured to run tours as well as registered and bonded to sell travel.   Our suppliers are companies that are trusted and experienced as well.  Although running beer tours seems like a "fun thing to do", the comfort and security of our passengers is serious business.

Time & Money Matter!
Our goal is to provide the most unique, fun and brewtastic beer trips for the buck!  This means we include accomodations, tours, brewery visits, most meals and other options that many other tour companies charge extra for. And we do it all while keeping our prices ridiculously reasonable. This is possible because of our long standing experience and connections in the travel industry. And since time off for vacation can be a precious commodity, we also offer short beer trip weekend getaways in the U.S., in addition to our weeklong European beer tours.
