Why You’ll Love This Trip
Oaxaca rewards curiosity — a Sunday market can lead to an unforgettable kitchen, a walk reveals bakeries and breweries behind centuries-old facades, and evenings fill with mezcal bars and music in the plazas. Two open days in the city leave room for Monte Albán, artisan workshops or simply lingering over coffee.
Mexico City is not simply a finale — Condesa and Roma cafés, historic layers from the Aztecs to today, street tacos beside acclaimed restaurants, and one of Latin America’s most exciting craft beer scenes. A neighborhood walk, a beer day and a farewell dinner cap four nights in the capital.
What makes this trip special: Mexico beyond resorts and cruise ports — Tlacolula’s Sunday rhythm, mezcal with family producers, Oaxacan beer and chocolate paired together, and four nights in Condesa to explore the capital neighborhood by neighborhood.

TRAVEL DETAILS:
Air Travel is not included. Travelers are encouraged to use mileage awards, travel outside group dates, or visit other European cities while abroad to make the most out of the trip. Please confirm the trip’s operation before purchasing air tickets.
Most Trips officially begin in the lobby of the first hotel. Meeting times, information about getting from the airport or train station to the hotel, the detailed itinerary, hotel addresses, and a trip roster will be included with your Final Trip Documents, which you’ll receive 2 – 3 weeks before the trip.
How we travel on tour: All included excursions and visits include transportation. Within the cities, we rely on walking and private or public transportation (uber, taxis, busses, trams, etc.). Travel between cities is by private motor coach, luxury van, ferry, and/or rail.
REGARDING INCLUDED MEALS AND BEER:
We don’t mess around when it comes to food and beer. Restaurants — tried and true — have been carefully selected, based on quality, local knowledge, and insider tips. On a Beer Trip, included meals mean you may order as you please – including beer, appetizers, dessert, etc. We are not stingy — a lot of food and beer is included on every Beer Trip.
PLEASE NOTE:
A BeerTrips beer tour is best suited for somewhat adventurous, beer-loving travelers who want the camaraderie and structure of a tour, as well as the opportunity to explore independently. Planned events, brewery visits, locally guided tours, and some excursions are, of course, formally “guided”. Travel days, on trains, public means, or the beer bus, as well some group walks, are blissfully unstructured, though travelers can always rely on the support and assistance of the trip leader.
THIS ITINERARY IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE:
In rare cases, it may be necessary to alter the itinerary based on brewery or hotel availability, force majeur, acts of dieties, common sense, or bad weather, etc. Smaller breweries, as well as the Trappists, are often unable to commit to hosting groups until a couple of weeks before we arrive. Substitutions, when necessary, will be as good as what we replaced. And, don’t worry, the beer is always good!
