Join the Guilderland Chamber to Sip, Savor, & Explore the “Seasons of Guilderland” for their inaugural Brewery & Winery Tour on Sunday, October 27, 2024.
This tour will stop at eight different breweries or wineries along two different routes located within the Chamber’s footprint throughout Guilderland, Altamont, and the hilltowns. The event is designed to highlight the vibrant tourism offerings in the region. Additionally, throughout the month of October, certain breweries and wineries included in the Chamber’s Seasons of Guilderland Passport will be offering specials and promotions to encourage visiting the area’s most acclaimed beverage producers.
As the Chamber continues to promote local businesses and attractions, this event is a key component in boosting tourism and stimulating economic growth in Guilderland and surrounding areas. The tour will not only showcase the rich diversity of the region’s craft beverage industry but also attract visitors from surrounding areas, encouraging them to explore what Guilderland has to offer.
There will be two separate tour buses that will operate at the same time, and will each stop at four locations. Buses depart the parking location by 12:15 p.m. and return around 3:45 p.m.
