The Experience

Before You Go

Bring your ID and drink responsibly

Minimum age is 21 and each stop includes one sample; carry ID and know your limits to keep the group moving safely.

Hydrate before and during the ride

Bottled water is provided, but start hydrated—SLC sits around 4,200 ft elevation and dry air can sneak up on you.

Wear closed-toe shoes and visible clothing

Sturdy footwear helps on pedals and dismounts; bright clothing improves visibility in city traffic.

Arrive early to fit a short warm-up

Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early for bike setup and a route briefing so the tour can depart on time.
