This four‑hour, all‑inclusive outing from Dewey Beach threads the Beer, Wine, and Spirits Trail of Southern Delaware, putting craft beers and award‑winning wines within easy reach while the operator handles reservations, tasting fees, and door‑to‑door transport so groups can focus on tasting and taking photos.
Along the sun-soaked shores of Delaware’s coast, Delmarva Discovery Tours presents a crafted journey designed for those who savor local flavor with an adventurous twist.

The tour is perfectly paced, visiting 2-3 venues depending on schedule and traffic, with all tasting fees and transportation included.
