A Taste of Homer: Brew House, Winery and Meadery Visits

The Craft Industry of Homer Explore Alaska’s brewing and wine-making culture with visits to three artisanal producers. While Homer is primarily known for its halibut fishing and idyllic landscape, this town also boasts a healthy industry of beer and wine crafting. Enjoy picturesque surroundings as you drive through town to visit a brewery, a winery, and a meadery—a winery that specializes in combining honey, water and yeast to make mead, a beverage that can trace its roots back to the days of the Vikings. Sample a delightful selection of drinks to get an in-depth look at the flavors that this region cultivates. See the facilities of these local companies where you will meet local experts and learn about brewing and fermentation, not only as a craft, but how it is done in such a remote community. After you have sampled all that this region has to offer, return to your awaiting ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
