Vista Made Tours

Pioneer Beer Trail around Vista, California

In this episode, we introduce you to the Pioneer Beer Trail… a three-mile driving loop that includes three breweries that were among the first to put Vista, California on the map as the beer capital of San Diego County. And a fourth brewery with iconic ties to the legendary history of early Las Vegas. We also stop for a brief visit with the San Diego Brewers Guild (also located in Vista).  And we meet up with nearby Al Toque Peruvian Kitchen that is the perfect pairing with craft beer! Of course, make sure you have a designated driver while traveling along the Pioneer Beer Trail! We want everybody to have fun… but also be safe!
