About
Take the train out or drive over to the Geneva Metra Station where we start our leisurely ride through the countryside west of the 'burbs" in the comforts of our Brews Mobile. The tour includes stops at Acquaviva Winery, Whiskey Acres Distillery and Obscurity Brewery. Ticket includes a wine tasting experience, samples of bourbon, rye and vodka, and a flight of 5 beers!
We visit the gorgeous 85-acre estate and vineyard of Acquaviva Winery. One of their experts will guide us through a tasting experience of 6 of their wines. (We may substitute a replacement winery if Acquaviva is closed for a private event)
Whiskey Acres Distillery is situated in the farmlands of Dekalb, IL. It was started by a 5th generation of farmers who grow all their own ingredients for their products. They will provide you with a personalized tasting experience where you will quickly learn why the awards continue to come in for their products.
At Obscurity Brewing you will enjoy a tasting experience with a flight of 5 beers encompassing a variety of styles and beer processing methods. Feel free to purchase something off their much talked about BBQ menu.
Between stops, enjoy the countryside views and getting away for a little while from the hectic life of the City and Suburbs while enjoying some fun facts and trivia.
