Tour and taste your way through Salt Lake breweries with City Brew Tours. Their private tours include up to 16 samples of different craft beers, behind-the-scenes looks at the brewing process and an experienced beer guide. Tours can even be customized to include a photographer or videographer, so you can look back on the experience for years to come.

Sip and Vibe SLC offers private mixology classes accommodating groups up to ten. Book their bachelorette party class, or spirit-specific classes like Tequila with a twist. Each course is 60-90 minutes and includes spirits, glassware and guaranteed banter.
