tea Berkeley’s drinks scene

reflects a commitment to craft and quality that is perfectly paired with the city’s renowned restaurant and culinary backdrop.

Local wineries like Donkey & Goat and Urbano Cellars have tasting rooms serving award-winning wines. The Mead Kitchen makes fine, artisanal meads (thanks, honey bees). Flights of small–batch whiskies, NorCal wine and Berkeley craft beer grace the menus of establishments citywide.

Berkeley’s celebrated legacy of craft brewing can be traced to the origins of the American brewpub movement. New establishments such as Anvil Brewing Company join legendary Triple Rock and Trumer Pils to make Berkeley a truly brew-worthy destination.

Hop between tasting rooms, brewery tours, taprooms, and bars, and you’ve got a Local Libations destination that’s definitely worth the trip! Add a few tastes of Berkeley’s artisan food products along the way for a spirited, only-in-Berkeley culinary adventure.
