Tours of this beautiful old brewery are available almost every day of the year. The tour takes about an hour, costs $30, includes very generous tastings at the end and 10% off at the gift shop. It’s best to do the tour through the week so you get to see the brewery in production.
The Cascade Brewery is also a great place for lunch and don’t forget to wander through the beautiful gardens where you will catch a great view of Mt. Wellington on a clear day.
