On this day trip, you’ll explore the heart of Czech beer culture, beginning in Žatec, home of the world-famous Saaz hops. You’ll visit hop fields, learn how hops are grown and harvested, and understand why Czech hops are so highly regarded. A traditional lunch with beer tasting is included, and you’ll also enjoy beer along the way as part of the experience.

During a guided tour, you’ll explore the historic cellars and taste unfiltered beer straight from a wooden barrel.
