Reno-Tahoe Brew Tour FAQs

All ticket sales are final. Tours cannot be exchanged or refunded. They can be rescheduled with 7 days notice.

Guests that purchase our optional ticket insurance during checkout can cancel or reschedule their tour with at least 24 hours’ notice and can be rescheduled or reimbursed for the full tour ticket price (minus the booking fee and insurance fee)

Not likely, but it is possible. In the event of severe weather or a lack of tour-goers, the tour may be canceled.

In the event of inclement weather, the decision to cancel will be made by City Brew Tours Staff at least 12 hours before the start of the tour. If roads are fair and our brewery partners are open, we make every effort to run our tours as scheduled. If we have to cancel a tour due to weather, full refunds will be provided. Should you wish to reschedule due to inability to travel during the inclement weather, please give us a call at 775-510-2337 to discuss your options; a fee may apply if your tour was still scheduled to operate.

Our tours start at the Renaissance Reno Downtown Hotel and Spa entrance at One South Lake Street, Reno.

All guests must wear closed-toe shoes to participate in the tour. This is a safety precaution that the breweries themselves are required to enforce, therefore, no exceptions can be made. If you are taking a tour during the summer months, please plan accordingly.

No need to worry about choosing your beers at each stop. You’ll receive a handpicked selection of local craft beer curated by our beer expert guides.

We run public tours Thursday – Sunday at specified times and set itineraries. Because private tours are personalized, there is a sliding scale of differences between them vs. public tours. Generally, we suggest private tours for corporate events, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and other groups of over 10 guests. You can read more about our private tours here.
