Shoreline Cheers: Build Your Own Rehoboth Brew Tour Aboard a Delaware Party Bus.
On the coastal stretch around Rehoboth Beach, Delmarva Discovery Tours stitches together a mobile tasting room: a party bus for up to 25 people that lets you choose stops from 20 wineries, breweries, distilleries and meaderies. The operator supplies complimentary snacks and a guide who will take photos while you sample local pours; you build the itinerary, decide how long to linger, and can BYOB aboard (no red wine).

What the day feels like
What the Tour Feels Like
This is a stop-and-savor outing that you build: after booking the operator contacts you to choose venues, then the bus ferries your group between tasting rooms so you can linger over flights, swap stories on the onboard seats, snag photos from your guide, and sample local craft beverages. Start times typically work best at 11 a.m. or 5 p.m. because some venues close early; the common rhythm is 4–6 hours for a relaxed pace.
