    WOW! What a fun day! Seriously, I cannot stress this enough... WHAT A FUN DAY! Sean is a great host and he scheduled a full day of brewery visits - most of them we had never been to. The van is clean and he had it stocked with water and chips for us. We brought our own beer and snacks so we ate and drank all day even when we were on the road. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    We had a wonderful time last night celebrating my husband's birthday. Sean is a great host, with a fun personality and showed us a great time. We hit three breweries, and despite COVID were able to enjoy beer, food and even live music! Jacked Up was a great choice, and my husband loved how Sean arranged for a behind the scenes guided tour. The music was great, it was refreshing to see a band play! Hidden Barrel Tours is DEFINITELY the way to go for your future beer and wine tasting adventures. Sean's V Dub van was nostalgic and the perfect way to tool around town safely. Thanks Sean for a fantastic night!

    We had so much fun during our birthday celebration. Sean was amazing, he had the van decorated the cooler full and available for us the store our goodies. The music was fun. He was an awesome host! A well deserved 5 stars!

    The last stop on the tour. Cheers to an amazing day!

    Hidden Barrel Tours is the best. I called Miguel after the tour had already been booked by another in my party with a special request that I really didn't think he'd go for. I was surprising the one that booked the tour with our friend from out of state that she hadn't seen in quite a while. The only problem was the tour was booked at 11am and our friend's plane didn't land until 12! I asked Miguel if he would be willing to go along with the surprise and call the one that booked it the morning of our the night before to let her know that he would be running late and we wouldn't get started until 1:30pm. He agreed to go along with it! It worked out perfectly! Our surprise went off beautifully & the 4 of us got to go on the tour! We had the best time and it was the perfect way to begin our girl's trip: in the back of a VW bus going from winery to winery, enjoying the beautiful landscapes, wines and friends laughter. We started at Orfila, which has owls on the property to act as exterminators and has really good dark reds. My favorites were the 2018 Petite Sirah & the Lagrein. Second, we went to Belle Marie- which has a recreation of a castle on site. Here, we started with delicious champagne (which we bought some of!) & Miguel brought out snack boxes for us at this point. These were great! He even accommodated our food allergies to dairy and gluten! The boxes included: almonds, olives, pickles, strawberries, dark chocolate, crackers, pretzels and honey. We ate these while sipping the tasting flight at Belle Marie, my favorite being the Screaming Chief Malbec. Last, we ended at Cheval. This was so special because we got to stay the tour by the animal stables and got to hang out with some beautiful horses. Then inside, we tasted some whites and reds, with my favorite being the Merlot. Miguel was a safe driver, played classic rock on the radio we were all goofily singing along with, and even provided water and snacks. We will definitely do this again the next time we plan a fun trip in San Diego and we all highly recommend Hidden Barrel Tours for everyone that wants to have a good time and not worry about driving after the tastings! Cheers, Miguel!

    The VW bus was rockin!!!

    Wow! This was a fun get together for me and a small group of friends. Sean, the owner, tailored the trip to my group with fun and saftey in mind. The individual snack packs he prepared were perfect between stops! It felt very safe with all the COVID precautions being taken and Sean's safe driving and fun guidance from stop to stop. Each brewery was very welcoming. Some had samples, some provided a tour. Great fun overall! It was clear that Hidden Barrel Tours put alot of planning into making our day go smooth and ensuring our group was welcomed at every stop. The VW bus was so comfortable inside and felt authenticly retro. Was a fun way to roll out! I am excited to do it again soon!!!

    Great times in the vineyards!

    The brewery tours were a great addition to my friend's bachelor party. Nick was our tour guide, and…read morehe picked us up right on time, in front of our Airbnb. The old school firetruck was a pretty sweet ride! There was plenty of beer and water inside for us to begin the journey. You could also hook up your phone to the sound system and play your own music. Nick brought us to three breweries (Ballast Point, St. Archer's, & Mission) and at each one he would give us a little insight on the history of each brewery. Once inside, he set us up with some drinks, and even showed us around Ballast Point. HotShots also provided lunch, which was very delicious! We had chicken wings, subs, pizzas, and fries. Nick was a pretty friendly guy, and a great guide! While at each brewery, he hungout with us and played cards. He even beat us in Pusoy Dos (Filipino card game) numerous times. Pretty sure he was just hustling us though... Overall HotShots was a great experience. We got to go to 3 different breweries, drink a lot, and not have to worry about how to get to the next brewery. We all had a great time, and if you book them for your brewery tour, you'll have a great time as well!

    We went on a Brewery Tour this last weekend for a bachelorette party and we hAd an absolute blast!…read moreFrom the beginning of planning out the details, Paul was always so helpful and made sure it would be the best experience for us! Hugo our tour guide was amazing! He really helped make the tour as well! He took such good care of us!! Highly recommend HotShots! Hope to come down and take my husband and some other friends on one sometime!

    After speaking on the phone to many people a day company and calling back and forth around SD. I…read morefound brew hop. I talked to Summer. She is a great host and tour guide. She planned everything for me but only because I didn't know much about beer. She knows SD she knows the beer she knows the breweries and the industry. The group had doubts and didn't really care for my planning :| but after 20 minutes at the first brewery they started asking questions ... participating. And ended up glued to her words as she seeming mix dropped every other beer fact.

    Last October we celebrated our 20th anniversary so I planned a surprise trip to San Diego for us…read more Okay, so the surprise was really just for my husband, since I was planning it. Being that our passion is craft beer, San Diego, is sort of our Mecca on the West Coast. I contacted Summer at Brew Hop and they set us up with a customized, personal brewery excursion. We hit Greenflash, Alesmith (on barrel-aged Speedway Stout release day), and Lost Abbey. Summer and Lars went above and beyond b read more » y hitting Alesmith earlier in order to acquire our release tickets for the Speedway Stout. We got to Alesmith with only a few minutes to wait for our numbers to be called. For anyone that has waited in line at Alesmith on special release days, for tickets, and then waited in line for your ticket numbers to be called, you know what a sweet deal this was for us! We had a great time, Summer was awesome! I would do this again in a heartbeat! And I would recommend it to all of my beer loving friends. The personal brewery tours were a great chance to actually get to talk to the brewers, themselves, not just the "tour guide". Fun! But would be so much cooler with a larger group!

One thing to note, he is very strict on timing, so if you think you've got an extra five minutes, you don't.. LOL Now onto the tour itself. I've done quite a few wine tours, and unfortunately this one was my least favorite. It was also the first wine tour I've done that only visited two locations, which was a bit of a letdown. The first winery had a nice selection, we got three wine tastings. The Burgundy was my favorite from The Heritage flight. The property itself was beautiful to walk around, with amazing scenery and lots of great photo spots. We also stopped by the sweets shop and picked up a few treats. There were also surrounding shops near the winery. Personally, they weren't really my style, but that comes down to taste. If you like clothing and home décor, you might enjoy it more. Clothing prices looked to start around $50 and went up from there. The home décor shop was very cute with lots of handmade items, mostly in the $20 range and higher. I skipped the candle shop due to allergies. The charcuterie board was a nice touch and came with a good variety of items. The second wine location included five tastings. I personally wasn't a fan of the wines here. One person in our group ordered a glass from the regular menu and shared it, it was much better than the tasting options, and most of the group seemed to agree this stop was a bit of a disappointment. That said, the views were absolutely incredible. The pizza included in the tour was a highlight for me, I had the vegetarian, and it was really good. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. There wasn't much walking around at this stop, so we mostly stayed at the table and ate. My favorite parts of the tour was the food and the tour guide. I'm glad I tried it and can check another wine region off my list, even if it wasn't my favorite experience overall. For reference, we were picked up at 9:45 AM and dropped off around 3:00 PM.
