Additional Information

More refined than a bar hop and more spirited than a heritage tour! Over the course of three relaxed hours, you’ll gather some historical knowledge and local beverages as you amble through Savannah’s iconic Historic District. In contrast with a raucous bar hop, your drinks are pre-paid and selected to showcase the most unique favourites that have appeared and disappeared over the city’s rich 285-year past. Revel like it’s the last year of the 1700s with a goblet of Madeira wine (accompanied by a cheeseboard) at Jazz’d Tapas Bar, followed by tasting six distinct meads (and even a wider selection of honeys) at Savannah Bee Company. Post-mead, it’s time for a refreshing mint julep at the 17Hundred90 Inn & Restaurant. Conclude with a flourish- a glass of Chatham Artillery Punch at the Pirate’s House! Allow a local host to help you intimately encounter Savannah’s charming venues, delectable alcoholic treats, and fascinating history.

Amazing tour with phenomenal and knowledgeable tour guide! - This tour was AMAZING! Bonnie was so knowledgeable and taught us so much about the history of Savannah and at the same time introduced us to specialty drinks of the area that tied into that history. Absolutely loved this tour and would recommend to anyone visiting Savannah.

First time in Savannah - We learned a lot I’ve never heard of Moderna wine, but I really enjoyed the story she told we never had Meade wine and we enjoyed the tasting. Jazz’d was a super cool place to visit

Our favorite experience of the trip! - Bonnie tailored the tour to both our interests and our previous knowledge of Savannah. We were the only people on our tour, and were able to stay and linger where we wanted. Her knowledge of architecture and history is unmatched. Highly recommend!
