Current Beer Vacations

This is the kind of trip we’re always talking about—real Bavaria, great beer, and the kind of experiences you just don’t get on your own.

For our 2026 Oktoberfest & Bamberg tour, we’re taking you straight into Germany’s beer heartland, starting in Bamberg—one of the true beer capitals of the world—before heading to Munich for Oktoberfest. Along the way, you’ll experience both sides of German beer culture: the small, traditional breweries of Franconia and the full-on energy of Oktoberfest.

We’ve built this trip the way we like to travel—plenty of incredible beer stops (yes, including classic rauchbier taverns, Weltenburg Abbey and Weihenstephan Brewery), amazing local food, and time to actually enjoy where you are. There’s space to explore, shop for traditional Bavarian outfits for Oktoberfest (think lederhosen and dirndls), wander historic streets, and soak it all in without feeling rushed.

And of course, we wrap it all up the right way—with a reserved evening inside a tent at Oktoberfest. Live music, big beers, shared tables—it’s everything you want it to be, but done the BonBeer way.
