What To Expect

Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel

Enjoy a fully guided tour and transfer from the historic port city of Whittier through North America's longest combined rail and highway tunnel, the Anton Anton Anderson Memorial tunnel and into the towering peaks of the Chugach National Forest. Revel in a tram ride and lunch atop Mt. Alyeska and behind the scenes tours and tastings at Girdwood Brewing Co., Anchorage Distillery, and Double Shovel Cider Co.

Anchorage

Continuing the adventure toward Anchorage, we will parallel the Turnagain Arm on the most scenic 40-mile drive in Alaska. Continuing with our 100% Alaska crafted theme, we will visit the largest distillery in Alaska. Utilizing Alaska grown barley and wheat, fresh Alaskan berries, and pristine glacier water, Anchorage Distillery is crafting some of the state’s smoothest gins, vodkas, and whiskeys. We will sample these spirits straight or in a handmade craft cocktail and go behind the scenes to take a closer look at the production process. Rounding out our Alaska Crafted Tour will find us at one of the most popular tasting rooms in the state, Double Shovel Cider Company. Named for a caribou antler formation prized by hunters, Double Shovel opened in 2016 as the first microcidery in Alaska. Sourcing as many local Alaskan apples as possible and utilizing a proprietary juice blend from the Pacific Northwest, see and sample these gluten free cider blends at the source.

If you have an extra 8.5 hours at the end of your Alaska cruise, I'm not sure there's a better way to spend it. Bryan and Roberta own Big Swig Tours. They texted me the day before our ship arrived in Whittier to sync up and ensure we had their number. Roberta was right there at the dock at 9:45 as we left our ship. Photo stops along the Seward Highway. Alyeska Aerial Tram to the lodge at the top for lunch and light hiking. The best micro brewery tour I've ever had at Girdwood. Then on to Anchorage Distillery, and Double Shovel Cider Co. Roberta was a great guide mixing personal stories, with history and fun all along the way. We arrived at the airport refreshed and ready for our red-eye back to NJ :)

Brian and his wife were so nice, it was a relaxing easy going time, the different breweries were really neat, and all the people were fun and informative. Plus the tasting was fun too.
