Around Lake Wallenpaupack, a compact corridor of breweries, taprooms and a handful of wineries has become an easygoing circuit for anyone who wants to taste the region rather than drive it. Time Away Transportation Services’ Wallenpaupack Beverage Trail delivers a simple promise: you drink, they drive — a private, customizable shuttle that moves your group between local producers so you can focus on the tasting, not the logistics.

THE OFFERING

Door‑to‑door, stress‑free tasting

The core of the experience is straightforward: a chauffeured vehicle carries your adult group between breweries, wineries and distilleries so you can sample local craft beverages without driving “around the lake.” The operator can advise and customize the route to hit must‑visit stops you name during booking.

THE SCENE

A concentrated corridor of local producers

Within a short radius of Hawley you’ll find a cluster of partners — breweries, beer gardens and a winery — that form the backbone of most itineraries, letting groups sample a range of styles and settings in a single outing.

THE FLEX

Custom routes and group options

Tours are built around your group’s preferences: pick a few stops you must visit, add restaurants or shops, and the operator will shape the run. Vehicles accommodate parties up to fourteen in the largest unit, with options for additional vehicles as needed.

What the day feels like

What it feels like

The tour unfolds like a gently paced loop: a pickup at your agreed location, a string of short drives between partner stops for tastings and conversations, and a return to your original pickup or another single drop‑off point when the run is complete. The operator coordinates start time and trip details after booking so the flow matches your group’s rhythm and the venues’ hours.
