Delmarva Discovery Tours offers a distinct blend of adventure and local flavor just across the bay from New Jersey, centered on the lively town of Lewes, Delaware. This tour uses the iconic Cape May Lewes Ferry to transport you from New Jersey to Delaware’s charming shoreline, where a custom day trip takes shape. Upon arrival at Lewes ferry terminal, your private group boards a comfortable sprinter van stocked with snacks and a tailor-made itinerary focusing on Delaware’s burgeoning craft beverage scene. This isn’t just a brewery crawl—it’s a curated experience that traverses breweries, wineries, distilleries, and meaderies spread across the region, highlighting the creativity and craftsmanship defining Delaware’s emerging reputation as a craft libation destination.
Delaware’s landscape—largely coastal plain with sandy soils and scenic waterways—supports small farms that supply many of these beverage makers, fostering a direct farm-to-bottle connection. The route often includes stops at historic towns, local eateries offering seasonal cuisine, and optional excursions to beaches, lavender farms, or botanical gardens. Lewes itself, established in the 17th century, offers a blend of colonial history and natural coastal beauty, making this trip more than a tasting tour but a regional immersion.
Delmarva Discovery Tours stands out in this landscape for its personalized service, small-group focus, and logistical ease. The seamless connection between ferry and sprinter van ensures time is spent enjoying the experience, not coordinating transportation. Snack inclusions and on-the-road photos help create lasting memories for groups up to eleven, with larger shuttles available. The tour’s flexible duration—four, five, or six hours—caters to varied tastes and schedules, with shuttle drivers ready to customize the day to your group’s interests.
