Taste the passion on the Tap & Pour Tour
The Tap & Pour Tour vendors all share one thing — a passion for creating something that will be enjoyed by many. Visit Winery Row to experience the best of the region’s wines or Brewery Row to enjoy some brews. Purchase drinks by the glass or enjoy a tasting flight from premier local producers!
🍻 Smoking Cannon Brewery: Civil war photos and a 19th century saloon style lend this Ramona craft brewery an appropriate rustic vibe. House beers range from stouts and IPAs to naturally flavored brews including smoked peanut butter. Ingredients are as fresh and natural flavors as possible. Each is named after a different Civil War cannon. Taste some of these samples as history is brought back to life!
🍻 Blue Honey Country Wines: This micro-winery specializes in country wines (non-grape fruit wines) and meads (honey wine) with the fruits and honey being the stars of the show. Ingredients are sourced from local farms in Ramona, Fairfield Farms, and Solidarity Farms in Pauma Valley, for the sweet, ripe fruits and raw, unfiltered honey.
