You may notice several wine tour companies or other random limo services offering 'Temecula brewery tours' on Groupon. If you chose to use a Groupon for a Temecula Brewery Tour you will be VERY disappointed. The price might look attractive but you will get exactly what you pay for.
If you don't mind being jammed inside a large vehicle with 20+ other Groupon buyers, no interactive experience, limo drivers acting as beer tour guides, UN-organization, etc., go for it. You can save a few bucks...... Literally might save $10.00 a person. But ask yourself if that is really worth it? You may do a beer tour once a year maybe only once in your lifetime, why settle for second best?
Groupon takes up to 50% of the profits from the business. So if you buy a "brewery tour' on Groupon you can expect a very poor experience. The only way the limo companies or wine tour companies make any profit from Groupon is by getting as many people as possible to go on the tours. If they get 20+ guests on one trip they will see a slight profit.
Neither the customers on the tours or the breweries are happy about having 20+ people being dropped off all at once. The user experience suffers and the tasting room bartenders often get no tips as these tour companies don't have money left over to tip them. Just as important as it is for us to make sure our guests have a world class experience it is equally important that our local breweries and their employees are treated right.
This is why we have not gotten involved with Groupon. Tour companies with bad Yelp reviews and poor customer service need to use Groupon in order to get them customers, it is the only way they can do it as people will overlook bad reviews in order to maybe save a few bucks.
We limit our Public tours to a maximum of 8 guests. This ensures you will have the most interactive, personalized experience possible.
Our Yelp reviews and over all reputation at the breweries speaks volumes. We are very fortunate to not have to resort to Groupon to send us customers. Our customers refer other customers because they have such a great experience.

We recently had the opportunity to try the "Black Hole Sun" Russian Imperial Stout from Black Market Brewing Co.
We didn't just "try" it we ended up buying a case!
This beer is available at the Black Market Brewing Co. Tasting Room. However this is going to sell out within the next few days so make sure to get in there before it is gone!
We can honestly say this is one of the finest beers we have ever had when it comes to high ABV Imperial Stouts!
The "Black Hole Sun" is served in a Brandy Snifter in the tasting room in 10 ounce pours. There are also a few bottles left you can purchase in a 22 oz size.
We have yet to have a beer in the region that can match the complexity of this amazing beer.
The "Black Hole Sun" Russian Imperial Stout is a whiskey barrel aged imperial stout that is only available in a short run.
Go into black market brewery on Wednesday or Thursday to give it a try as it will most likely be gone soon. Believe us when we say you don't want to miss out on this one!
We have been getting a lot of requests for beer and wine combo tours.
We are putting together a package that will include visiting 1 winery and 2 breweries This should appeal to those that don't want to have to decide on only doing a winery tour or a brewery tour. This will be the ultimate tour package for those visiting Temecula from out of town, birthday parties, and more.
This will be a 4 hour tour for parties of 8 or more!
